By H. Ted Rubin, J.D., M.S.W.

“…exceptionally valuable insight into how systems can improve outcomes for the juveniles and communities they serve ...  a ‘must own’  for everyone interested in juvenile court or services reform.”

“Ted Rubin writes with grace, knowledge, and passion.  These chapters reveal an informed enthusiasm for the juvenile court and wonderful insights on how to improve things.”
