Sinopsis

Juvenile Delinquency in American Society: Race, Class, and Politicsáexamines juvenile delinquency and the juvenile justice system as they are influenced by matters of race and ethnicity. Rooted in current research, the book explores how race and racism play a role in which youth are arrested, which are adjudicated delinquents in juvenile courts, and which end up in residential facilities, juvenile detention centers, or adult prisons.áThe content is organized into four primary units covering the historical context of race, theories of race and delinquency, the social context of race and delinquency, and current issues in juvenile justice. Specific topics include the impact of race on the social construction of adolescence, measures and correlates of delinquency, social process, life course, and critical theories, the school-to-prison pipeline, and corrections and punishment in the modern era.áWith its thoughtful exploration of a critical issue,áJuvenile Delinquency in American Societyáis designed to serve as a primary text in college and university courses in criminal justice and juvenile justice.
