Summary: An invaluable book
Comment: In his compelling new history of "Juvenile Justice in the Making", David S. Tanenhaus has accomplished what many scholars considered all but impossible: a fresh historical interpretation of the development, operation, and enduring importance of the juvenile court. Scholars, lawyers, child welfare workers (or children's advocates), and policy pundits will wrestle with the significance and perhaps even more with the lessons of Tanenhaus' bold new opening. (author Harvey J. Graff)

Summary: Praise for "Juvenile Justice in the Making"
Comment: "Juvenile Justice in the Making" captures the timeless lessons of the early juvenile court and applies them intelligently and passionately to the complex challenges it faces today. Tanenhaus carefully reconstructs the early history of this resilient institution to remind us how a separate court for children evolved through swirling social contexts and political cultures to give a recurring institutional voice to our enduring notions about children and the law."--

Summary: REVIEW
Comment: From the Publisher: "In this time of despair over the very possibility of achieving juvenile justice, David Tanenhaus makes a compelling case for understanding the present by looking backward. "Juvenile Justice in the Making" reminds us of the persistent power of the belief that the young deserve a separate system designed expressly for them. And he insightfully explains why we must understand that the American juvenile justice system did not emerge full born, but evolved over time out of determined attempts to realize its critical mission. By giving juvenile justice back its past, Tanenhaus pens a persuasive argument for rethinking its present and reimagining its future." --Michael Grossberg, Professor of History & Law, Indiana University
