Trapped in a Vice - The Consequences of Confinement for Young People

Informationen zum Autor Cox, Alexandra Klappentext Explores the consequences of a juvenile justice system that is aimed at promoting change in the lives of young people, yet ultimately relies upon tools and strategies that enmesh them in a system that they struggle to move beyond. The system, rather than the crimes themselves, is the vice. Zusammenfassung Trapped in a Vice explores the lives of the young people in the criminal justice system, revealing the ways that they struggle to manage the expectations of that system; these stories from the ground level of the justice system demonstrate the complex exchange of policy and practice.
