John Muncie is a leading international researcher in the related fields of youth criminology and youth justice studies and the fourth edition of Youth and Crime goes a long way towards setting the agendaThe unique balance between authoritative scholarship and accessibility makes the book a vital resource for researcher, teacher and student alike. In fact, it is almost impossible to imagine engaging with the study of young people, crime and criminalisation without reading the fourth and comprehensively updated edition of Muncie’s remarkable text.
-- Professor Barry Goldson
The new edition of John Muncie′s Youth and Crime succeeds in the difficult job of improving an already outstanding textbook. Indeed, this hardly does it justice for Youth and Crime not only does what one would expect a first rate textbook to do – provide comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date material for students – but offers so much more. It provides a grounded theoretical and empirical account of the enormous changes that have occurred in the ways in which we understand and respond to young people using the machinery of criminal justice. As such it has no serious rivals. -- Professor Tim Newburn
