註釋Juvenile delinquency is one of the most complex, interesting, and challenging phenomena in the US. Newspapers, television, and radio bombard us with accounts of juvenile misbehavior and crime which range from truancy to first-degree murder. Consequently, youths who violate the law receive considerable attention from law enforcement officials, social agencies, criminologists, and social and behavioral scientists. This book is guided by the basic premise that juvenile delinquency is inherently social in nature. Thus, any meaningful discussion of delinquency must be expressed in a sociological framework. More specifically, this book approaches delinquency as it relates to and emerges from the youth's family, neighborhood, school, peer group, social class, and overall culture and environment. This edition includes current and controversial topics such as community policing, gun control, hate crimes, the impact of TV violence, boot camps, and capital punishment for juveniles. Sociologists, social workers, law enforcers, teachers, and administrators.
