概要 | Young people are beset by a host of negative images: as troublesome or in trouble; as offenders or victims; as overly dependent or independent and as needing more control or protection. For many the '...roblem of youth' is a convenient shorthand for the problem of crime. Youth and Crime: A Critical Introduction is an accessible introductory textbook that combines criminology with sociologies of youth and social policy and presents an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of much of contemporary youth research and youth policy. Each chapter focuses on a substantive topic such as: political discourses; social histories; the extent and causes of offending; youth cultures; social policy and the youth justice system while emphasizing the importance of historical, feminist and comparative perspectives on youth crime and regulation. Many current aspects of the `youth problem' including joy-riding, homelessness, truancy, rave culture, boot camps. poverty and unemployment, parental responsibility, zero tolerance and electronic tagging are critically discussed within the text. Written primarily with the aim to introduce the basic aspects of youth research and criminology to undergraduate students Youth and Crime is presented in the form of an interactive text. Each chapter includes a preview, lists key academic concepts, summarizes the main arguments and provides study questions and guides to further reading. As such it will prove invaluable to any student or teacher of criminology, criminal justice studies, social policy, sociology and youth studies.
