A Summons to Life is a groundbreaking, unmissable challenge to decades of failed juvenile justice and crime policy, where Robert L. Woodson draws on frontline case studies, from the House of Umoja to La Playa de Ponce, to expose why 'get tough' deterrence, mental health interventions, and top-down 1960s-style poverty programs have failed troubled youth, and to make the case that family, neighborhood, and grassroots community institutions hold the real key to juvenile delinquency prevention, incarceration reduction, and lasting criminal justice reform.
