    Juvenile Justice

    G. Larry Mays

    Representing the U. S. juvenile justice system in a logical

    chronological format

    Juvenile Justice provides the most recent and detailed information about a broad range of topics. The balanced presentation gives key insights from political science

    public administration

    sociology

    criminology

    and criminal justice as well as the important historical backdrop. Carefully dealing with all the major processing points and agencies

    Juvenile Justice covers all the pressing issues that are confronted within the contemporary system.\n\nAn engaging and realistic vignette opens each chapter to stimulate thinking and classroom discussion

    and its implications are woven throughout the chapter. The exceedingly readable narrative explains basic terms and concepts along with valuable historical background. Three themes

    woven throughout the materials

    given students a solid understanding: the role of theory as a tool to describe

    understand

    predict and control delinquency; how appreciating the historical background can give insight into future practices; and the importance of globalization in a world increasingly interconnected by the Internet and social media― international perspectives are included in every chapter.

    The war on women was a term coined during the 2012 election cycle that referred to attempts to pass legislation that would limit women's rights

    from control of women's bodies (with a particular focus on birth control

    abortion

    and the aftereffects of rape) to equal pay for women and their rights in the workforce (M. E. Gilman

    2014). One arena in which evidence of such a war's impact on women may be assessed is behind and in front of the blue curtain of policing. To what extent

    then

    does policing reflect culture that supports and facilitates a war on women? We review arrest trends for female offenders

    discuss police responses to crimes against women

    and examine policies and practices that may improve understanding of the criminal justice system's role in this war. We find evidence of changes in police perspectives

    actions

    and policies toward women as perpetrators and victims of crime. Specifically

    at the same time that police undertook more aggressive enforcement efforts against certain types of female offenders

    resulting in trends for women that were often the reverse of those for men

    there was an absence of similar attention to laws and policies protecting women as victims.
