By comparing how adolescents are prosecuted and punished in juvenile and criminal
(adult) courts, Aaron Kupchik finds that prosecuting adolescents in criminal court
does not fit with our cultural understandings of youthfulness. As a result, adolescents
who are transferred to criminal courts are still judged as juveniles. Ultimately,
Kupchik makes a compelling argument for the suitability of juvenile courts in treating
adolescents. Judging Juveniles suggests that justice would be better served if adolescents
were handled by the system designed to address their special needs. --Publisher
