Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

For courses in Juvenile Deliquency. This text, now in its fifth edition, integrates sociological theories of delinquency with discussions of what is actually occurring in the social environments (families, peer associations, schools, community settings) of today's youths. It examines the ways in which specific features of contemporary American society have contributed to certain types of delinquent behavior and the manners in which social institutions have responded in their attempts to control, treat, and prevent juvenile delinquency. The very latest trends in juvenile and family court procedures are described, court cases that have set the parameters for police, court, and secure facility handling of juveniles are analyzed, and delinquency prevention and control are examined.

Reseña del editor:

The first of its kind to integrate theory and real-world application in juvenile delinquency, this extensively researched volume addresses today's most current developments and issues, with probing examinations of the extent, nature and origins of American juvenile delinquency; the factors in contemporary life that generate or influence delinquency; and the juvenile justice process and methods for controlling, treating and preventing delinquency. The authors examine, define and explain delinquency, the effects of the social environment on delinquency, the juvenile justice process, and preventing, treating, and controlling delinquency. For those interested in a clear examination of juvenile delinquency. "
