Summary
This book examines the relationship between youth and serious and violent antisocial behaviour in our society. It explores the precursors,onset, situational,and motivating factors of juvenile violence and crime as well as examining explanations and responses to the growing problem of juveniles committing serious crimes.Studies show that youth violence and deviance are interrelated with child abuse,family violence,peer violence and drug and alcohol abuse and the limitations of the juvenile justice system.This book offers a new perspective on youth offending.
