Sinopsis

Few issues attract greater concern and censure than those that surround youth âÇÖgangsâÇÖ. Paradoxically, youth researchers have conventionally been reluctant to even use the term âÇÖgangâÇÖ but, more recently, such reluctance has receded. Indeed, it is increasingly claimed thatá- in particular urban âÇÖterritoriesâÇÖá- youth gangs are commonplace,ásome young people are deeply immersed in violence and the carrying and use of weapons (particularly knives and firearms) is routine. Comprizing a series of essays from leading national and international researchers, this book subjects such claims to rigorous criticaláscrutiny. It provides a challenging and authoritative account of complex questions pertaining to urban youth identities, crime and social order. This book: locates the question of âÇÖgangsâÇÖ in both historical and contemporary contexts engages a spectrum of theoretical perspectives and analytical positions presents and analyzes cutting-edge empirical research addresses a range of previously neglected questions, including those pertaining to girls, young women and âÇÖgangsâÇÖ.á Youth in Crisis? provides a vital resource for researchers, educators, policy-makers and practitioners with an interest in key questions facing criminology, sociology and social policy.
