"Corriero employs his experience to good effect in outlining the challenges of balancing society's interest in being safe with the desire to avoid transforming a youthful offender into a career criminal."—Publishers Weekly
"One page and you'll be hooked. Michael Corriero knows his subject, from his own childhood to his 25 years as a judge. This personal account infuriates, saddens, and ultimately teaches—how we can fix our courts so they help more than they hurt the young people who come before them."—Peter Edelman, Professor, Georgetown University Law Center, and former Director, New York State Division for Youth
"Judge Corriero's Judging Children as Children combines a scholar's thoroughness with the unique insights of a judge trying children in adult court. He rails against the stark failures of our current juvenile and criminal justice systems in handling troubled adolescents, but then he pushes us to pursue a hybrid justice system which would both improve childrens' lives and keep our communities safer."—Victor Streib, Law Professor, Ohio Northern University, Co-Chair of ABA Juvenile Justice Committee, and author of Death Penalty for Juveniles
