Description
"Serious Delinquency" features a survey approach to the major issues in delinquency and the juvenile justice system. Topics include patters of offending and victimization, predictors, theoretically driven correlates, and a wide range of issues in the operations of the juvenile justice system. Each chapter opens with an introduction that sets the context for each reading and links successive chapters into a coherent theoretical framework. The anthology begins with a brief historical overview, then follows the juvenile justice system from police involvement through court processes and beyond. The book concludes with a reconsideration of juvenile delinquency using critiques of historical and current perceptions of the system. -- From publisher's description.
