There is no other volume that provides such a comprehensive
treatment of juvenile evaluation and rehabilitation. Market the
book as being the only comprehensive, current, and integrative
practice guide and reference book on research, practice, and law on
juvenile offender evaluation and rehabilitation. Richard Redding ,
JD, PhD. Professor of Psychology Chapman UniversityI very much like
the inclusion of the hands-on practical information, such as the
sample reports, the interview outline and the assent form. These
are helpful and are nice when using the text as a course book for
training graduate students. These are also helpful for practicing
professionals, most of whom have not received formal training in
forensic assessment so hand-on, practical information is always a
benefit for this population. I would like to see this volume
published. Patricia Zapf, PhD, Professor of Psychology, John Jay
College of Criminal Justice
“This book aims far higher than a recipe for juvenile disposition
and transfer evaluations. It explains why you are doing them,
focuses on what factors you need to evaluate, and comprehensively
lays out your options for designing your assessment. And if you are
looking for research ideas, the possibilities here are
endless.”—Thomas Grisso, PhD, ABPP (Forensic), emeritus professor,
University of Massachusetts Medical School“This book is the place
to go for a comprehensive, intelligent overview of the issues
surrounding forensic testimony in complex, serious juvenile cases.
It weaves together legal analysis, juvenile justice constructs,
developmental psychology, research on outcomes and patterns of
offending, and straightforward clinical guidelines—all in an
eminently readable format. This is a first-rate piece of serious
legal and clinical scholarship that firmly grounds the young
practitioner and scholar and provides a valuable context and
explication of issues for the more seasoned professional.”—Edward
P. Mulvey, PhD, professor of psychiatry, director, Law and
Psychiatry Program, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine“Any
mental health professional involved in juvenile justice should read
this book, not only because transfer of juveniles to adult court is
a ubiquitous aspect of juvenile justice, but because recent Supreme
Court opinions have also made evaluation of rehabilitative
potential crucial for those adults who committed crimes while
juveniles. This book describes all the up-to-date tools needed to
carry out this incredibly important aspect of the juvenile justice
system.”—Christopher Slobogin, JD, LLM, Milton Underwood Professor
of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School
