Youth crime and justice : critical issues

"Youth Crime and Justice" provides an authoritative and accessible overview of youth crime and youth policy developments in the UK. "Youth Crime and Justice" engages with key debates, examining youth crime and justice in context, and providing a critical assessment of contemporary evaluative research.

Goldson and Muncie have produced an analysis of the processes of criminalization and contemporary patterns of youth crime, and seek to develop a formulation of youth justice for the future.

Barry Goldson and John Muncie have brought together a leading team of experts to produce the definitive text in the area. "Youth Crime and Justice", along with its companion volume "Contemporary Youth Justice: Critical Issues" (edited by John Muncie and Barry Goldson), will significantly advance the development of an emerging 'youth criminology'.
