Juvenile Delinquency, Eleventh Edition, 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. Balancing theory with application, the authors explore the different causes of juvenile delinquency, examine its behaviors and consequences in social contexts, explain the role of the police and court system, and propose strategies for treatment and prevention. Interdisciplinary scholarship from sociologists, psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other specialists who have sought to understand, explain, control, and prevent juvenile delinquency is incorporated throughout the text. Learning outcomes offer students a roadmap for major concepts and key ideas while end-of-chapter outcomes assessments stimulate critical thinking and discussion. In each chapter, "Global Focus on Delinquency" boxes look at delinquency in different societies, cultures, and subcultures and "Controversial Issue" boxes address critical questions.
New to This Edition:
- New Chapter, "Female and LGBTQ Delinquency and Feminist Theories" emphasizes often overlooked female delinquency and juvenile delinquency in the LGBTQ+ community
- New and updated coverage of the media and social media is incorporated throughout the book to highlight one of the most important influences on juvenile delinquency today
- New discussion of transnational gangs and their influence both within and across national borders highlights a global rise in nationalism (Chapter 12)
- Updated coverage of video gaming and violence, cyberbullying, school shootings, drug usage, drinking, smoking, and vaping is presented and analyzed to keep students up to date on contemporary issues
