Product Description
"Reluctant Gansters" provides an account of the emergence, nature and impact of armed youth gangs in an East London Borough over the last decade. This book: describes the challenges these armed young men and women pose to their communities, those charged with preventing crime and those struggling to vouchsafe 'community safety'. This book provides a 'local' focus whilst also outlining the effects it chronicles have both a national and international relevance. It argues that the main reasons behind the emergence of the armed youth gang has been the coalescence of two previously discreet socially deviant groups; the rowdy, episodically criminal, adolescent peer group on the one hand, and the locally-based organized criminal network on the other.This book analyses the impact of the globalisation of the drugs trade and the consequent shift in the focus of local organized crime from the 'blag' to the 'business'. It discusses how socio-economic and cultural factors, as well as family and neighbourhood histories and loyalties and localized racial antagonisms all play their part in the emergence of the armed youth gang. ...

Product Description
This text examines the position of children in society, the nature and extent of juvenile delinquency, its social context, the major theoretical explanations relating to its causes and the ways in which the juvenile justice system responds. The book's child-centred approach has been retained and expanded in the second edition. This approach is designed to portray the problem of delinquency within the context of adult-child relations, as the authors point out that most forms of juvenile delinquency are products of how children have been perceived and treated. This edition includes a new chapter focusing on female delinquency and a chapter on juvenile gangs. The following are also available: an instructor's manual (0-07-051334-1); computer test bank 3.50 (0-07-833460-8); and computer test bank MAC (0-07-833462-4). ... Read more

From the supplier: Australian juvenile justice has placed much emphasis on the family as a source of juvenile crime. Furthermore, there is a growing concern over the decline of the modern family and a shift towards community-based crime prevention. Consequently, the government has placed the problem of crime and delinquency on the failures of modern family.

From the supplier: Much emphasis have been placed on the responsibility of Australian families to prevent juvenile crime. Many family groups and community centers have urged parents to exercise more care and control of their children in order to prevent youth crime. The current legislation requires parents to 'show cause' as to how they are not responsible for their children's criminal offenses.
