Juvenile Delinquency A Sociological Approach

Taking a sociological approach, this text discusses delinquency as it relates to and emerges from the youth's family, neighborhood, school, peer group, social class, and overall cultural and social environment. The authors incorporate contributions from psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other specialists who have sought to understand, explain, control, and prevent juvenile delinquency. An exploration of juvenile delinquency in other nations -- including England, Australia, Israel, Russia, and selected countries of South America and Africa --gives a point of comparison and a global perspective.Bynum, Jack E. is the author of 'Juvenile Delinquency A Sociological Approach', published 2004 under ISBN 9780205401505 and ISBN 0205401503.
