In recent years, western societies have experienced a fundamental
transformation in the way crime is understood and dealt with.
Against the backdrop of a current great interest in narratives in
criminology, this book draws on a narrative perspective to explore
this transformation. Drawing on data from Germany, the book focuses
on changing narratives of youth crime in recent decades and the
exact narratives that have been used, abandoned, invented or
criticized in order to instil particular understandings of crime
and measures to act against it. The author draws upon a wide range
of sources, including debates on youth crime in six parliaments
from 1970 to 2012; articles on youth crime in four police and six
social work journals from 1970 to 2009; and case studies with 15
young defendants who were interviewed before and after their trial
and whose trial was observed. In doing so, the author reconstructs
narratives over several decades and, overall, reveals a fascinating
and multifaceted scope of narratives of youth crime. This book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of youth crime and
justice, as well as criminology, sociology, politics and social
work more broadly.
