Review:
This is a top-notch treatment of juvenile delinquency. Donald Shoemaker’s third edition of Juvenile Delinquency is well-written, provides cogent summaries of key concepts and statistical patterns, and captures the core—as well as important nuances—of this topic better than any textbook I’ve seen.
