Book Synopsis Crime, Shame and Reintegration by : John Braithwaite
Download or read book Crime, Shame and Reintegration written by John Braithwaite and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-03-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Shame and Reintegration is a contribution to general criminological theory. Its approach is as relevant to professional burglary as to episodic delinquency or white collar crime. Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. Shaming can be counterproductive, making crime problems worse. But when shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, it can be an extraordinarily powerful, efficient and just form of social control. Braithwaite identifies the social conditions for such successful shaming. If his theory is right, radically different criminal justice policies are needed - a shift away from punitive social control toward greater emphasis on moralizing social control. This book will be of interest not only to criminologists and sociologists, but to those in law, public administration and politics who are concerned with social policy and social issues.

Book Synopsis Understanding Juvenile Justice and Delinquency by : Marilyn D. McShane
Download or read book Understanding Juvenile Justice and Delinquency written by Marilyn D. McShane and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge look at the problems that impact the way we conduct intervention and treatment for youth in crisis today—an indispensable resource for practitioners, students, researchers, policymakers, and faculty working in the area of juvenile justice. Understanding Juvenile Justice and Delinquency provides a concise overview of the most compelling issues in juvenile delinquency today. It covers not only the range of offenses but also the offenders themselves as well as those impacted by crime and delinquency. All of the chapters contain up-to-date research, laws, and data that accurately frame discussions on youth violence, detention, and treatment; related issues such as gangs and drugs; the consequences for scholars, teachers, and students; and best practices in intervention methods. The book's organization guides readers logically from the broader definitions and parameters of the study of juveniles to the more specific. The volume leads with an explanation of the relationship between victimization and juvenile behavior and sets up boundaries of the arenas of delinquency—from the family to the streets to cyberspace. The book then focuses on more specific populations of offenders and offenses, including recent, emerging issues, offering the most accurate information available and cutting-edge insight into the issues that affect youth in custody and in our communities.

Book Synopsis Family Comes First by : Campaign for Youth Justice
Download or read book Family Comes First written by Campaign for Youth Justice and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAMILY Comes First is a comprehensive analysis of current family engagement and family partnership practices in juvenile justice systems around the country. It provides needed tools and resources to practitioners to develop strong system-family partnerships in the juvenile justice system. Given the history of the juvenile justice system, which has historically kept families at arm's length, coupled with organizational and fiscal challenges facing agencies today, it is not surprising that many justice systems are struggling to meet the needs of families. While each of the individual efforts made by current juvenile justice systems and groups make important contributions to the field, what has been missing is a vision of what a transformed justice system looks like when that vision honors and supports families before and after their children have contact with the system. A paradigm shift is underway in juvenile justice - one that recognizes that families are the most knowledgeable experts in their children's lives. System stakeholders are working together with families to break down stereotypes and stigma, engage families in individual treatment decisions and larger policy reforms, and prepare youth for productive futures. In the past few years, the juvenile justice field has made major strides in elevating the importance of family involvement to overall system reform efforts. We have come a long way even though we have far to go. FAMILY Comes First fills that gap by providing a clear and intentional guide to transforming the justice system by taking a family-driven approach. Family Comes First analyzes what families, professionals, and our research identified as Five Features of a Transformed Justice System:1. Families will be supported before and after challenges arise.2. Families will have access to peer support from the moment a youth is arrested through exit from the system.3. Families will be involved in decision-making processes at the individual, program, and system levels to hold youth accountable and keep the public safe.4. Families will be strengthened through culturally competent treatment options and approaches.5. Families will know their children are prepared for a successful future.
