Document Content and Description Below

Test Bank For Juvenile Justice In America, 9th Edition by Clemens Bartollas-Juvenile Justice in America (9th Edition) provides an in-depth look at the lives of juveniles, their experiences in society... , and the consequences of those experiences. The text carefully examines the structures, procedures, policies, and problems of American juvenile justice agencies. The Ninth Edition places further emphasis on delinquency prevention, and features a new chapter on juvenile offender populations to give readers a more comprehensive view of delinquent youth. Boxed features in every chapter highlight the practical realities of working in the juvenile justice system. The careful balance of theory, evidence-based findings, and practical applications gives readers the most up-to-date insight into the state of juvenile justice in America today. The instructor’s manual begins with an outline of the chapters to assist with lecture preparation. Following the chapter outlines, there is a list of videos relevant to juvenile justice topics. Finally, there is a test bank that includes multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, matching, essay, and critical thinking questions that cover the information in each chapter. New questions have been added and others edited either for the sake of clarity or to cover added new materials. This course can easily be set up in various weekly formats without having to adjust the point system. Graded assignments in every class are recommended in order to motivate students to attend all classes. To add more graded assignments, you could offer fewer points for the “Instructor Assigned” homework and have some in-class points added each week. You can offer graded activities at the very beginning of classes and at the end of classes to encourage students to be to class on time and to remain at class until the end. These activities can be short quizzes from prior lectures or can be quizzes at the end of class from the lecture offered during the class. Points can be offered for correct answers or for participation. Games can be played in which questions are asked from prior learning and the students can receive a grade for participating. It might help to “sell” the paper to the students in a way that helps them realize that it isn’t just a paper, but more of a research project that can benefit them in finding out more about the field they want to work in, or just want to learn more about. Hopefully the students who have used too many drugs or committed too many crimes will find out early where they can and can’t work before they dedicate too much time into the wrong areas. If possible, try to bring in a few guest speakers. Let the students know in week one that you would like 2–3 guest speakers and ask them to contact you if they have any relatives or friends who could qualify. You could either have the student invite the speakers or you could obtain contact info and invite the speakers yourself. Usually about 45 minutes is sufficient for a speaker to talk about what they do and what road they took to get there. They can offer some advice to those interested in their field and answer questions. For the first class, it is a good idea to make a quiz on the syllabus and have each student take it for a grade or just for your own records. If you do this as a graded assignment, you would need to adjust your point system to allow more points to be earned. Another option for the first and last class is a pretest and a posttest. A 25–50-question quiz can easily be put together using the test bank that is provided at the end of this manual. [Show More]
