Youth has long been a central focus of the sociologies of crime, deviance and popular culture. This lively and accessible text reassesses the growing body of writing and research about crime and young people. It provides a critical introducation to the study of youth, crime and punishment within the context of a social construction of 'youth' which is continually defined as outside of society. Key features include an overview of the field, an examination of developments in policy and practice, and an assessment of 'new' trends in research and theory. The author examines two issues which have recieved little attention, but which are vital to a full understanding of the complexity of youth and crime: the role played by gender, and the extent to which young people become victims rather than offenders. Her parting message is that young people should be 'listened to' rather than 'silenced and scapegoated'. |
