Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice written by Barry C. Feld and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 1051 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, researchers have made significant discoveries about the causes and origins of delinquency. Specifically, we have learned a great deal about adolescent development and its relationship to decision-making, about multiple factors that contribute to delinquency, and about the processes and contexts associated with the course of delinquent careers. Over the same period, public officials have made sweeping jurisprudential, jurisdictional, and procedural changes in our juvenile justice systems. The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice presents a timely compilation of state-of-the-art critical reviews of knowledge about causes of delinquency and their significance for justice policy, and about developments in the juvenile justice system to prevent and control youth crime. The first half of the handbook focuses on juvenile crime and examines trends and patterns in delinquency and victimization, explores causes of delinquency-at the individual, micro-social, and macro-social levels, and from natural and social science perspectives-and their implications for structuring a youth justice system. The second half of the handbook concentrates on juvenile justice and examines a range of issues-including the historical origins and re-invention of the juvenile court; juvenile offenders' mental health status and considerations of trial competence and culpability; intake, diversion, detention, and juvenile courts; and transfer/waiver strategies-and considers how the juvenile justice system itself influences delinquency. The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice provides a comprehensive overview of juvenile crime and juvenile justice administration by authors who are all leading scholars involved in cutting-edge research, and is an essential resource for scholars, students, and justice officials.

Download or read book Cengage Advantage Books Pocketful of Plays written by David Madden and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2006 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new addition to David Madden's POCKETFUL series (including titles in fiction, poetry, drama, and the essay), this chronologically arranged anthology contains a number of classic longer plays as well as four one-act plays, included to create a mini one-act anthology, spanning a range of time. Because one-acts plays are shorter, they are easier to teach in a shorter time period, making this a real benefit for this anthology. Rather than annotations, the author has included a question set specific to one-act plays to be used as guidance throughout reading. The plays will be accompanied by critical source material that will help students understand the playwright and/or play. This source material will include the playwright's notes and/or a review of a specific production of the play. Priced to be affordably packaged with two or even three other volumes, each book in the POCKETFUL series can also be used separately.
Download or read book Recidivism in the Caribbean written by Dacia L. Leslie and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed and practical exploration of criminal recidivism and social reintegration in Jamaica. It uses various methods to seek the authentic voices of inmates, ex-prisoners, deported migrants and practitioners, drawing on an original study to examine factors that might help ex-prisoners more successfully transition from a prison environment to life within the community. Leslie also raises important questions about the Jamaican state’s capacity to meet the needs of inmates, particularly as a large number of its citizens are subject to forced repatriation to their homeland by overseas jurisdictions due to their offending. Recidivism in the Caribbean provides a unique insight into institutional and community life in a post-colonial society, whilst linking practices theories of offender management. It will particularly appeal to criminologists and sociologists interested in tertiary crime prevention but also those interested in correctional policy and practice, punishment and deviance.

Download or read book Political Philosophy in the East an West written by Jaan Islam and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, amid the convergence of global political, social, and economic forces we are asking ourselves the fundamental values we hold true, facing an antagonism between different school of philosophy¿between left and right politics. The proposed book provides a comprehensive analysis of western political philosophy and underlines the core principles of each argument. It then argues that non have solved, or have any pathway to eventually solve, the question of right and wrong¿we are essentially moral relativists in disguise. In order to break out of this cycle of uncertainty, the book purposes a solution of knowledge-based cognition: policy based on a concrete and prove understanding of an absolute and certain body of truths. This requires an analysis and blending of non-western political philosophical traditions, such as those espoused by Islam and Confucianism. This book gives an original critique of western political philosophy and is the first book to engage in a philosophical reconstruction of Islamic political philosophy.
