This book proposes a new conceptual framework for theorising young
people's relationship with crime. It emerges from a critique of the
narrow approach advocated by developmental criminology and argues
for an analysis that recognises and includes the important
contribution that the young themselves can make to the theorising
and understanding of their relationship with crime. Explicitly
using the voices of a group of working class young people who are
defined as 'a social problem', this approach emphasises how
criminal identities and pathways are strongly influenced by the
interactions embedded in political ecological systems and
relationships.
Drawing upon the work of the social psychologist Urie
Bronfenbrenner and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, this book explores
young people's 'nested' and 'political' ecological relationships
with crime. A Political Ecology of Youth and Crime examines the
impacts of these relationships through an empirical investigation
of the important 'places' and 'spaces' in young people's lives; in
their social relationships with peers and family members; and
within formal institutional systems such as education, youth
justice and social care. This book makes an important new
contribution to how we understand the relationship between youth
and crime in the contexts of sociology, criminology, social
psychology and education.
