Juvenile Delinquency, 3rd Edition, is a college-level textbook that introduces youth crime and the justice system. The volume connects theoretical explanations of delinquent behavior directly to practical applications in treatment and juvenile justice.
Coverage addresses the measurement and history of delinquency alongside major theoretical models of youth behavior. The text also examines the institutional contexts in which delinquency occurs, particularly family settings and schools, as well as the responses of law enforcement, courts, and correctional institutions.
The text evaluates core issues through the perspectives of race, social class, and gender to examine how demographic factors shape youth crime and justice. To support classroom teaching, complimentary resources for instructors include a test bank and an instructor's manual.
