Across the nation, girls of color are disproportionately represented in detention facilities, and many report having experienced physical harm and sexual assaults. For girls, the meaning of these and other factors such as the violence they experience remain undertheorized and below the radar of mainstream sociolegal scholarship. When gender is considered as an analytic category, Schaffner shows how gender is often seen through an outmoded lens. Offering a critical assessment of what she describes as a gender-insensitive juvenile legal system, Schaffner makes a compelling argument that current policies do not go far enough to empower disadvantaged girls so that communities can assist them in overcoming the social limitations and gender, sexual, and racial/ethnic discrimination that continue to plague young women growing up in contemporary United States. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aFemale juvenile delinquents$zUnited States 606 $aJuvenile delinquency$zUnited States 606 $aTeenagers with social disabilities$zUnited States 606 $aJuvenile corrections$zUnited States 615 0$aFemale juvenile delinquents 615 0$aJuvenile delinquency 615 0$aTeenagers with social disabilities 615 0$aJuvenile corrections 676 $a364.36082/0973 700 $aSchaffner$b Laurie$0864202 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996207975903316 996 $aGirls in trouble with the law$91928897 997 $aUNISA
