Americans are deeply troubled by the issue of criminal behavior among young people. There appears to be a profound depression among growing numbers of youth, a feeling that neither their own life nor anyone else's has value. The 10 chapters in this book address these issues and evaluate solutions from the perspectives of different disciplines. This volume includes a literary and historical overview of crime among rural and urban youth, and explores the theoretical and social policy thinking that grew from these traditions and shaped society's responses to youths in trouble. The book reviews the literature concerning how families, peers, schools and the community influence delinquent behavior. Chapters are also dedicated to: the role of substances in delinquent behavior; the influence of television; the nature and treatment of violent adolescent behavior; a developmental perspective of youth gangs; community-based treatment; effective interventions for incarcerated youth; and the promotion of juvenile decency.
