New Books: Criminal, Juvenile, and Social Justice Titles
Summer 2018
The Washington State Law Library frequently updates our collection with regular subscriptions to treatises and deskbooks. Summer is a time we use to purchase those items which have been on our “wish list”. As we mentioned in Rethinking Juvenile Justice: A Book Review, we recently added to our criminal, juvenile, and social justice collection.
Here is the first in a two part sampling of new books in the library collection, focused on these titles. All books are available for checkout or interlibrary loan; contact the reference desk at Library.Requests@courts.wa.gov with questions or to put a book on hold.
