“In the second edition of Forensic Evaluation of Juveniles, Grisso brings his classic text up to date, incorporating developments of the past 15 years. His second edition is a clear, thoughtful, practical guide—a must for practitioners in this area. I can’t think of a better introduction for new evaluators or a better review and update for experienced ones.”
-Philip H. Witt, PhD, ABPP, Past President, American Academy of Forensic Psychology
“Grisso’s original Forensic Evaluation of Juveniles was a ground-breaking guide to specialized juvenile forensic evaluations when none existed. In this second edition, he provides updates in law, ethics, science and practice in the same rigorous, succinct style. A superb resource for clinicians, legal professionals, and policy-makers.”
-Kirk Heilbrun, PhD, Drexel University
