How were criminal children dealt with in the 19th and early 20th centuries?

They also include a section showing how researchers can carry out their own research on child offenders, the records they will need and how to use them, so the book is a combination of academic guide and how-to-do-it manual. It offers readers cutting-edge scholarship by experts in the field and explains how they can explore the subject.
