Juvenile Delinquency: A Sociological Approach, 7/e
In Juvenile Delinquency: A Sociological Approach, 7th edition, the authors continued to provide a thorough and thoughtful examination of this very serious social problem. Their over-arching sociological perspective traces this anti-social behavior to the youth’s family, neighborhood, school, peer group, social class, culture, and other components of his/her social context. At the same time, major contributions from psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and specialists from other disciplines are incorporated. The integrative approach of this text carefully presents the classical theoretical explanations and social control strategies as foundational initiatives for newer and contemporary theoretical insights and treatment programs.
