Recenzje

Sarah Cate's rich analysis shows how the community-control movement in juvenile justice reproduced the same problems of state-based institutions, but with even less political accountability. Situating juvenile justice reform within transformations in American political economy, such as privatization and welfare retrenchment, Cate reveals that devolution of juvenile institutions from state to county level control has been part of, not an alternative to, divestment from the public sector. This book is a devastating indictment of community-control models and a call to action for meaningful investment in public goods.
