Summary
"Juvenile Delinquency offers a timely, comprehensive look at the unlawful and criminal behavior of young persons and the manner in which the criminal justice system treats the young. In this highly readable text, Donald J. Shoemaker explores the social issues of race, class, and gender and their impact on youth. After grounding readers with a historical perspective, Shoemaker presents a series of sharply focused chapters on schooling, religion, and family, as well as sections on drug use, gangs, and female delinquency, With a strong emphasis on the importance of theory and practice, Juvenile Delinquency is a must-read for everyone trying to understand crime and youth culture."--BOOK JACKET.
