Abstract
In this review, the author considers the collection by U.S.-based juvenile justice scholars on legal and policy frameworks across various international juvenile justice systems. The author analyses the conceptual discussion of the themes of each chapter. These include juvenile justice in Western Europe, “understudied systems,” and the effect of significant political change on jurisdictions. This review examines the valuable features of the collection, such as the level of statistical analysis on crime rates and modes of disposition, whilst offering additional avenues of information related to this collection. The author concludes that the collection is original and will be of interest to practitioners, policy makers, academics and students of juvenile justice, criminal justice, and criminology.
