Youth and Crime by John Muncie
This interactive textbook introduces basic aspects of youth research and criminology to students. Each chapter includes: a focus on substantive topics with emphasis on the importance of historical, feminist and comparative perspectives; and a summary of the main arguments with study questions.
`A spell-binding and critical introduction... His book has ′moved beyond the traditional concerns of criminology′.... The book is all the more valuable for this.′ - The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice
