En savoir plus sur le livre
This comprehensive reference work offers an in-depth analysis of juvenile justice systems worldwide. The updated second edition features 13 new chapters, expanding coverage to 34 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East from an international and comparative perspective. The research, conducted by leading scholars in juvenile justice, reflects collective concerns about evolving trends that blur the lines between criminal and juvenile justice. Each chapter is designed to enhance comparative analysis, focusing on key aspects such as the legal status of juveniles, age of majority, the country’s position on the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, trends in juvenile crime from 2004 to 2014, causes of juvenile crime, policing practices, court systems, custodial rules (including detention and adult mixing), and alternative sanctions like home confinement and restorative justice. It also examines differences in the treatment of boys and girls. This seminal work underscores both similarities and differences among various systems, serving as a vital resource for researchers in criminology and criminal justice, particularly those interested in juvenile delinquency, as well as related fields like sociology, social work, and public policy.
