Summary

"Delinquency and Youth Crime, 4/E approaches delinquency as one dimension of the overall crime problem, albeit one that provokes much concern and debate. The authors focus on multiple sources of data and attempt to distill general conclusions about consistencies across types of information as well as to explain inconsistencies. Their balanced presentation is designed to facilitate readers' ability to think critically when confronted with voluminous information relevant to a broad understanding of delinquency. A new glossary offers a handy reference, while dozens of updated graphics will enhance readers' understanding of research statistics and the trends they suggest."--BOOK JACKET.
