Hindelang Award for the Most Outstanding Contribution to Research in Criminology By comparing how adolescents are prosecuted and punished in juvenile and criminal (adult) courts, Aaron Kupchik finds that prosecuting adolescents in criminal court does not fit with our cultural understandings of youthfulness. As a result, adolescents who are transferred to criminal courts are still judged as juveniles. Ultimately, Kupchik makes a compelling argument for the suitability of juvenile courts in treating adolescents. Judging Juveniles suggests that justice would be better served if adolescents were handled by the system designed to address their special needs.New perspectives in crime, deviance, and law series.Juvenile justice, Administration ofUnited StatesCriminal justice, Administration ofUnited StatesJuvenile delinquentsUnited StatesJuvenile justice, Administration ofCriminal justice, Administration ofJuvenile delinquents364.360973Kupchik Aaron1613852MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820193103321Judging juveniles3943361UNINA
