A worthy sequel to Why People Obey the Law, Why Children Follow Rules makes a strong, research-based case for adopting the same procedural justice approach toward young people that Tyler has long advocated for adults. The book has one clear, timely message: Subject youth to disrespectful confrontation, rigid enforcement, and unexplained punishment, and both their reoffending and their contempt for rules is likely to increase." -Christopher Slobogin, Milton
