Christopher King, JD, PhD, is an assistant professor of psychology at Montclair State University.Sarah Filone, MS, is a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Drexel University.

There is no other volume that provides such a comprehensive treatment of juvenile evaluation and rehabilitation. Market the book as being the only comprehensive, current, and integrative practice guide and reference book on research, practice, and law on juvenile offender evaluation and rehabilitation. Richard Redding , JD, PhD. Professor of Psychology Chapman UniversityI very much like the inclusion of the hands-on practical information, such as the sample reports, the interview outline and the assent form. These are helpful and are nice when using the text as a course book for training graduate students. These are also helpful for practicing professionals, most of whom have not received formal training in forensic assessment so hand-on, practical information is always a benefit for this population. I would like to see this volume published. Patricia Zapf, PhD, Professor of Psychology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice
