In this volume, top experts in the field of delinquency discuss the implications of the findings of the Pittsburgh Youth Study for current conceptualizations of antisocial behavior. Violence and Serious Theft is unique in that it combines the strengths of three disciplines to explain delinquency in young people: developmental psychopathology, criminology, and public health. The book addresses questions in two main areas: serious offending as an outcome over time and developmental aspects of serious offending; and factors which explain why some young males become violent and/or commit serious crime while others do not. Violence and Serious Theft is a resource for researchers, practitioners and students in developmental, school and counseling psychology; psychopathology, psychiatry, public health and criminology.

Industry Reviews

"Rather than reviewing what is already known, this book propels the field forward by presenting new findings from the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS). A remarkable book on a truly remarkable and unparalled study. The authors are, without a doubt, among the most respected and important researchers in this field. This book offers something for everyone. An important and thoughtful scholarly work that provokes and stimulates thinking, and masterfully steers this field to where it should next go."- Jodi Viljoen and Andrew Spice, PsycCRITIQUES
