"There is much to like in the second edition, including references to more contemporary data and detailed treatment of important new developments, so this revision is quite timely. I applaud the authors for a solid, effective revision of an outstanding book."--Robert Brame, Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology, University of North Carolina, Charlotte

"This 'hits' on all counts. This second edition revision is as engaging, easy to read, and well-argued as the first. Scholars will cite it in their research, graduate and undergraduate students will learn a great deal from it, and it will certainly enhance the efforts of many practitioners and juvenile justice officials."--Daniel P. Mears, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Florida State University

"The Cycle of Juvenile Justice was a worthy book the first time and the second edition is an even more worthy successor."--Barry C. Feld, Professor of Law, University of Minnesota

"Written in accessible, engaging prose and arranged in an especially organized fashion with a multitude of headings and subheadings to guide the reader through a systematic application of a refreshingly parsimonious model. Highly recommended." --Choice
