This is a golden era for juvenile justice reform in America. Both the Left and the Right, are demanding change. Now nationally acclaimed Judge Steven Teske, a juvenile court judge, provides a no nonsense prescription for change. With easy to understand examples, he takes aim at the flawed thinking, which has made the system a mess and then provides best practice, research based insights for change, including (1) Developing Alternatives to Incarceration (2) Ending Zero Tolerance in Schools (3) Being Smart about Bullying (4) Ending the Jailing of Kids Who Make Us Mad (5)Taking a Stand Against the Politics of Fear and (6) Demanding Parental Involvement. Finally, for the sake of all kids and families, he calls for each of us to be responsible for making positive change happen.
