Injustice for Juveniles

Another breakaway book that confirms Ira Schwartz is light years ahead of his concrete colleagues in analyzing contemporary juvenile policies and practices with simple, yet elegant postulates others in his field have yet to grasp. If Albert Einstein were to have become a social worker instead of a physicist, his name would most certainly be Ira Schwartz.
