Rethinking Juvenile Justice

Are you concerned about the treatment of teenagers who commit crimes? Do you believe that there must be a better way to handle their offenses? Introducing the groundbreaking book, "Rethinking Juvenile Justice." This compelling read challenges the traditional "adult time for adult crime" approach that has dominated the justice system for decades.

Did you know that the current practice of locking up young people doesn't just strain state budgets but also leads to an increase in crime? That's right, the evidence speaks for itself. But what if there was a smarter, more effective solution? In this eye-opening book, leading scholars in law and adolescent development propose a comprehensive and pragmatic way forward.

It's time to recognize that adolescents are neither children nor fully responsible adults. With the wisdom of the best available psychological science, Elizabeth Scott and Laurence Steinberg outline a new developmental model of juvenile justice. Instead of punishing young offenders harshly, this model focuses on their immaturity while still holding them accountable.

Imagine a society where young people who have made mistakes can transform into responsible adults, breaking the cycle of criminal behavior. This forward-thinking approach not only serves the interests of justice but also alleviates the burden on the legal and prison systems. By investing in their development, we are investing in our future.
