David S. Tanenhaus. Juvenile Justice in the Making. (Studies in Crime and Public Policy.) New York: Oxford University Press. 2004. Pp. xxx, 231. $29.95.
Within the past decade, there have been a number of history monographs about juvenile courts, including ones about the Cook County Juvenile Court (CCJC) in Chicago, the first American juvenile court established in 1899. For this reason, it is fair to ask of this book: what is new? David S. Tanenhaus's four main contributions to juvenile justice history are his emphasis on the experimentation of the CCJC, his attention to the influences of politics and journalism, a careful consideration of institutional legal history, and his access to the CCJC's case files.	1
The book's six chapters examine the history of the CCJC from the 1880s when social reformers, lawyers, and judges conceived of a children's court, to the mid-1930s, when the court experimented with community organizations and neighborhood leadership for supervising delinquent youth. Throughout the book, Tanenhaus fully discusses how the volunteer and philanthropic work of female reformers, as well as the professional work of probation officers, judges, and psychiatrists, shaped and enacted ideas about reforming, not punishing, children.	. . .
