Juvenile Justice for the 21st Century provides students with engaging articles and the latest research on emerging topics within the field. This anthology provides readers with valuable information on the current issues facing contemporary youths and the professionals who work with them on a daily basis.

The text is composed of one original piece and seven research articles that cover issues related to race, substance abuse, LGBTQ identity and community, mental health, technology, and reentry success. Individual topics include minority disproportion in the system, the impact of juvenile mental health court on recidivism rates among youth, the overrepresentation of LGBTQ youth within the child welfare to juvenile justice crossover population, and more. The text recognizes the critical role of treatment and rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system and underscores the importance of leveraging current research to guide effective practices and approaches.

Featuring timely, scholarly information, Juvenile Justice for the 21st Century is an ideal supplementary text for courses within criminal justice and sociology, especially those with focus on juvenile justice and delinquency issues.
