Download or read book Courting Kids written by Carla J. Barrett and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite being labeled as adults, the approximately 200,000 youth under the age of 18 who are now prosecuted as adults each year in criminal court are still adolescents, and the contradiction of their legal labeling creates numerous problems and challenges. In Courting Kids, Carla J. Barrett takes us behind the scenes of a unique judicial experiment called the Manhattan Youth Part, a specialized criminal court set aside for youth prosecuted as adults in New York City. Focusing on the lives of those coming through and working in the courtroom, Barrett's study reflects the costs, challenges, and consequences the 'tough on crime' age has had, especially for young men of color. Through observation, interviews, and the construction of 'court narratives' that trace several kids through the progression of their cases, Barrett shows how members of the court worked to develop a humanizing model of justice cognizant of the often difficult realities of adolescent lives. Skillfully engaging with some of the most critical issues facing our justice system today, from routine judicial practices to the appropriate legal responses to serious adolescent transgression, Courting Kids is a compelling study of the law in action"--Unedited summary for book cover

Download or read book Drug Court written by Mitchell B. Mackinem and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2008 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug Court: Constructing the Moral Identity of Drug Offenders offers a richly detailed field research investigation of how drug court professionals work to help drug offenders become drug free and law abiding. The book explores the less public and revealing world of drug court professionals as they judge and manage drug offenders. Drug courts are the latest approach in America and in other countries for handling problem drug users. More than 1,200 drug courts exist throughout the United States and its territories. These courts developed out of the shifting emphasis on punishment and treatment of problem drug users. Based on more than five years of field research in three drug courts in a southeastern state in the U.S., in two of which the senior author was the drug court administrator, Drug Court explores how a team of drug court professionals transform drug offenders into drug court clients. Judges, administrators, drug counselors, lawyers, and others compose the drug court team. These drug court professionals face the challenge of deciding whether drug offenders are primarily criminals who have little, if any, desire to kick their habit or whether they are drug abusers who will work to abstain from using drugs. Some of the questions answered in this book are, Are the drug offenders appropriate clients for drug courts? Are the drug court clients participating adequately within the drug court program? Have the drug court clients performed successfully in the program to graduate? Through their evaluation, interpretation, monitoring, sanctioning, and more, drug court professionals judge the moral worth of drug offenders as they treat and manage the offenders through drug court. Drug Court will be of interest to a diverse audience including the areas of criminal justice, law/legal studies, drug treatment/counseling, and sociology.
