"Juvenile Justice in Global Perspective successfully makes the point that an adequate understanding of youth justice requires the multiple comparisonsto adult systems, to other systems, to social policiescontained in this volume. It is an impressive contribution to the field." - Anthony Doob,co-author of Justice for Girls? "This book is a major contribution to the literature on juvenile justice. Editors Franklin E. Zimring, Máximo Langer, and David S. Tanenhausall of whom are leading voices in the field of juvenile justicehave gathered together other top scholars from around the world to present a compelling transnational perspective.They examine reform efforts in China, Europe, India, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, South Africa, and South Korea.In doing so, they provide a brilliant synthesis of juvenile justice reform efforts across the globe, enabling readers to appreciate why a commitment to a separate system of juvenile justice is universal." - Martin Guggenheim,author of What's Wrong with Children's Rights "With chapters on China, India, Latin America, Africa, and beyond, Juvenile Justice in Global Perspective is truly global in a way that no previous work has been. Besides being a hugely useful resource, though, the book also triggers important theoretical debates on the purpose and lasting value of separate systems of juvenile justice internationally. It should be widely read." - Shadd Maruna,author of Making Good: How Ex-Convicts Reform and Rebuild Their Lives "This book is a valuable resource for academic courses designed to compare and contrast juvenile justice systems and gain an appreciation of how different cultures approach juvenile justice." (Juvenile Justice Exchange) "Provides significant details and insight into worldwide juvenile justice systems that are not well documented in previous literature." (Journal of Youth and Adolescence)
