Plenty to learn in a tiny book.

For such a short book, I learned A LOT! This is a great intro book for anyone who wants to go into juvenile justice, either as an attorney or officer. The cases are synthesized with all of the important information that you need if you're headed into a court of appeals, or if you want to do your job right as an officer working with juveniles. This may even help you if you feel that your child, or one that you know, has had their rights violated. This is a great, cost-effective place to start.
