In \u003ci\u003eTransforming Juvenile Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven L. Schlossman traces the evolution of the idea that young lawbreakers, or potential lawbreakers, merit special treatment. He closely examines the Milwaukee Juvenile Court and the Wisconsin State Reform School to reveal how Progressive theory—the belief that rehabilitation and careful oversight should replace punishment of delinquent youth—played out in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince its original publication in 1977, Schlossman's history of the juvenile justice system contributed to the debate on the delinquency problem and remains a landmark study today. In an engaging new introduction for this fresh edition of his classic, Schlossman reveals his sources of inspiration and relates his discovery of the rare records that offered an exclusive glimpse into the Milwaukee court's day-to-day operations. His account of the changing definitions of delinquency and reformers' attempts to remedy it offers insights on dilemmas that continue to plague American society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Part 1-The Theory of \"Progressive\" Juvenile Justice\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Part 1\u003cbr\u003e 1 Precedent and Policy\u003cbr\u003e The Law of American Juvenile Justice\u003cbr\u003e 2 Juvenile Justice in the Age of Jackson\u003cbr\u003e 3 Domesticating the House of Refuge\u003cbr\u003e The Family Reform School in Victorian America\u003cbr\u003e 4 Love on the Move\u003cbr\u003e The Juvenile Court Movement in Progressive America\u003cbr\u003e Part 2-The Practice of \"Progressive\" Juvenile Justice\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Part 2\u003cbr\u003e 5 The Victorian Reform School\u003cbr\u003e A False Start\u003cbr\u003e 6 The Heyday of the Family Reform School?\u003cbr\u003e 7 The Juvenile Court Movement in Microcosm\u003cbr\u003e Milwaukee\u003cbr\u003e 8 The Operational Meaning of Noninstitutional Treatment\u003cbr\u003e 9 The Heyday of the Juvenile Court?\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography Addendum\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584758477080,"sku":"9780875806037","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/transforming-juvenile-justice-reform-ideals-and-institutional-realities-1825-1920-paperback-softback-9780875806037","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
