"Grisso and Schwartz have assembled the leading scholars in the field and produced a book that resembles nothing ever before written.  Youth on Trial challenges the choices legislators have made in recent years to push more and more young people into adult court without taking account of the ways in which adolescents really are different from adults.  This book, in a careful voice, is a measured effort to reintroduce sound public policy back into the juvenile justice discussion and will be of enormous importance to anyone interested in policy issues surrounding juvenile crime and delinquency."
