The late 1970s saw the emergence of a heated debate on the treatment of juvenile delinquents. The argument was usually presented as being between the exponents of ‘law and order’ and punishment on the one hand, and the ‘soft’ advocates of social work and treatment on the other. Originally published in 1980, Out of Care: The Community Support of Juvenile Offenders took issue with both sides and argued that it was the juvenile justice system itself which was at fault. Much of the debate about the merits or otherwise of the 1969 Children and Young Persons Act had been conducted in an informational vacuum. For the authors, the most important point is that while this self-interested and politically disingenuous debate had been continuing more and more supposedly delinquent children had been locked up, quite contrary to the intentions of the Act.The book, however, goes further than a mere critique of the existing system at the time. It also offers very direct and practical advice on what can be done – advice aimed at the police and magistrates, and especially at social workers and probation officers, both agency managers and field level practitioners. It describes practical ways of collecting information to modify local policies and suggests innovative and imaginative ways of working face to face with juvenile offenders. The book is unusual in that it combines this practical usefulness with a detailed analysis of certain key themes in contemporary criminological theory.All the authors had backgrounds in social work or probation practice, as well as recent experience of research into intermediate treatment and the workings of the juvenile justice system at the time. They were therefore able to offer a unique combination of perspectives, drawing on social policy, theories of delinquency, justice and the state, field research and social work practice.

'FULL OF SURPRISES' Patrick Ryan'A PURE DELIGHT' - Claire Lombardo'INCREDIBLE' - Nathan HillIt’s 1977 and in a backwater town in upstate New York, a blizzard is gathering force. As the storm closes in, a family begins to unravel . . . Harmon Pond, editor of the local paper, is drowning in debt and courting scandal. So when the creditor who kept him afloat vanishes without a trace, Harmon thinks it’s his lucky break. Meanwhile, his eldest daughter, Teresa—the paper’s junior reporter—sees a story that could make her name.But for Pauline, Harmon’s devout Italian American wife, the news drags up memories she’s spent a lifetime trying to bury, and secrets she wants to keep hidden.With their parents tangled in their own concerns, no one notices that middle-child Fran has begun sneaking out at night, or that Lonnie, the youngest, is taking dangerous risks of his own.As the town searches for answers, the blizzard builds into one of the worst in history. Can the Pond family accept the truth, and each other, before it’s too late?
