Book Description
Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on Crime and Delinquency Development of the Science of Criminology. - Criminology as a system first developed in the eighteenth century. Beccaria summed up the best writings on this subject in 1774 in a book called "Crimes and Punishments." This became the standard for reform in criminal procedure. Its influence is still felt. From it the Classical School took origin. The Classical School was founded on the writings of eighteenth-century Philosophers. This school dominated codes and procedures of the nineteenth century and still influences those of today. The Classical School held that a certain crime must always be punished in the same manner, because all persons are equal; therefore all committing the same crime are equally responsible. Attention was fixed not on the criminal, but on the crime. The theory of punishment was based on deterrence through intimidation. All the principles of the Classical School were based upon the theory of Free Will and the personal moral responsibility of the criminal. All were therefore equally responsible and no individual study of the criminal was necessary. The Neo-classical School developed from the Classical. This school held that some exceptions must be made according to the degree of personal responsibility. It possessed little means, however, of determining this degree of responsibility, and made few exceptions. The Correctionalist School introduced the idea of correction through moral reform of the individual instead of correction through fear alone. The fundamental principles of the classical School were little changed by by the newer schools. these principles still remain essentially the same as when formulated by Beccaria in 1774. Influence of the Classical School. - The Classical, Neo-classical and correctionalist schools paved the way for a new science of criminology. These older schools founded an orderly system based upon definite codes and procedures which had before hardly existed. Philosophy versus Science. - The attempt was made by the older schools to fit the penalty to social requirement. The theory of punishment and reform was not based on biological science: a philosophy rather than a science.
