Writing with a refreshing dose of common sense, Franklin E. Zimring discusses our society's failure to consider the developmental status of adolescent sex offenders. Too often, he argues, the American legal system ignores age and developmental status when adjudicating young sexual offenders, in many cases responding as they would to an adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An opinionated, articulate, and forceful critique of current politics and practices. . . .
