Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

At a time when an epidemic of violence has left America afraid for — and afraid of — its children, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes takes a poignant look at a year in the life of Los Angeles Juvenile Court, providing a vivid portrait of the children who pass through it.

Review:

"Passionate....A sad, maddening, brilliant book." Washington Post

Review:

"Humes' unique insider's view and the mesmerizing power of these true-crime tales combine to create an important book with a message of great urgency, especially to all concerned with the future of America's children." Booklist

Review:

"Humes draws an alarming portrait of a judicial system in disarray." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

After being granted access by court, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Humes surveys the largely futile attempts of LA to deal with juvenile crime.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Hume's offers this unforgettable odyssey through the corridors of the United States juvenile court system--the one place intended to save our children, though it seldom does. "Passionate. . . . A sad, maddening, brilliant book".--"The Washington Post".
