In a clear-eyed indictment of the juvenile justice system run amok, award-winning journalist Nell Bernstein shows that there is no right way to lock up a child. The very act of isolation denies delinquent children the thing that is most essential to their growth and rehabilitation: positive relationships with caring adults. The author introduces us to youth across the nation who have suffered violence and psychological torture at the hands of the state. She presents these youths all as fully realized people, not victims. As they describe in their own voices their fight to maintain their humanity and protect their individuality in environments that would deny both, these young people offer a hopeful alternative to the doomed effort to reform a system that should only be dismantled.
In Courting Kids Carla Barrett takes us behind the scenes of a unique judicial experiment called the Manhattan Youth Court, a specialized criminal court set aside for youth prosecuted as adults in New York City. The court, through creative use of judicial discretion and the cultivation of an innovative courtroom culture, developed a set of strategies for handling adult-juvenile cases that embraced, rather than denied, defendants and adolescence.
