Rezensionen
This textbook is a 'must have' for any course which examines the developments around young people and crime. It is a helpful and insightful read which supports student learning and critical understanding of the key theories, issues, debates and controversies in this area of study. It is written in an engaging way which, along with the helpful summary boxes and study questions, means that it is an accessible companion text for students on a large variety of criminology, sociology and youth focused modules. This new edition makes important links to more recent literature on developments in this field of study, meaning that this textbook remains a key book for anyone studying or teaching in this area.
