Juvenile Delinquency in a Diverse Society (2nd Edition)
Juvenile Delinquency in a Diverse Society presents a fresh, critical examination of juvenile delinquency within the context of real communities and social policies. Authors Kristin A. Bates and Richelle S. Swan integrate a wide range of social factors that shape delinquency and its control, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender, and sexuality. By utilizing true stories and contemporary examples, the text bridges the gap between theories of delinquency and current public policies, as well as existing community programs.
This edition encourages readers to consider how theoretical frameworks can be applied to create innovative policies and programs within their own communities. Students will gain a foundational understanding of the social diversity that contextualizes the varying experiences and behaviors associated with juvenile delinquency. Furthermore, the book fosters a deeper appreciation for the role of social justice and the community-based initiatives that comprise the modern juvenile system.
