*by G***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2017*

I am the daughter of a retired police officer and the wife of a retired deputy sheriff.  I drank from the kool-aid my entire life.  I read this book many years ago and it put me on a path of discovery.  It was a profound change in my outlook on law enforcement and criminal justice.  Even if you are a "law and order" kind of person, I urge you to read this fabulous book.

    A call to action (that will probably fall on deaf ears)
  

*by G***F on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2014*

Great read, especially if you foster children or have children that have entered "the system". I've heard the author give an interview and that was how the book first came to my attention. This is not a textbook though, and if that's what you're looking for, you'll be disappointed. It is however well researched and documented and despite being so manages to communicate the authors passion and urgency for the subject. If it doesn't leave you wondering how on earth this happened, or why we all let it happen, and what the answer is for change and how we should differentiate actual dangerous young people from those who simply misbehave, there is something seriously wrong with you. I shared this with a Canadian friend who has spent a career in Juvenile facilities and he was appalled to hear some of the abuses and horrors that have gone on, through he doubted it was only an American problem. The one question we both kept coming back to was even if a child has committed a crime, even if they do actually need to face a punishment, if that child (who is still developing) is subsequently subjected to abuse-mentally, physically or sexually (a crime), is it any wonder they don't magically "rehabilitate"? The house does indeed need to be burned down.

    What every adult in the U.S. needs to know about our youth
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2015*

For those who value youth and believe there is potential for a meaningful life in almost every child if given the opportunities to realize her or his best, Bernstein's book is a must. And for those who have concerns about how our society is measured and how resources are spent, this book is a must. For eight years Bernstein has thoroughly researched the issue of juvenile justice across the U.S. and reports on how this system, which is more than one hundred years old, has been failing youth over the decades in too many places and in horrifically inhumane ways and how some places have it right. Through case histories, studies, and statistics the reader is sensitized to the challenges and complexities children at risk, those who are incarcerated, and the professionals who serve them have faced and continue to face. Moreover, her analysis is hopeful: in 2015 we have the benefit of psychological, educational, and sociological research in adolescent development and brain science to make "the boutique programs [the programs that are effective] the status quo" and it could be, simply expressed but requiring a shift in attitude and culture, to base all programs on authentic relationships.
