What is Youth at risk and youth justice : a Canadian overview about?

"Youth at Risk and Youth Justice, second edition, offers an engaging and relevant introduction to juvenile delinquency in Canada. Drawing on the work of experts from across the country to offer a range of perspectives on the patterns, theories, and emerging topics related to youth justice, the book blends empirical research with critical analysis, while incorporating youth voices throughout. A new chapter on the justice system in action addresses key current challenges and issues faced by professionals working in the youth justice system including: net-widening; racial profiling by police; the changing scope of the work of probation officers; the challenges of dealing with young offenders with mental disorders; and the increasing and somewhat controversial use of risk assessment and management tools in youth courts and corrections. By combining a solid foundation on the fundamentals of the field with lively analysis of the discipline's central themes, Youth at Risk and Youth Justice is an essential resource for Canadian students trying to understand the state of youth crime, delinquency, and victimization today."-- Provided by publisher
