Youth Crime and Youth Culture in the Inner City offers an
interpretive account of juvenile delinquency within the modern
inner city, an environment which is characterized by a long history
of social deprivation and high rates of crime. A wide range of
topics are explored, such as young people's motivation for,
frequency of and attitudes towards a variety of illegal behaviors,
such as street robbery, burglary, theft, drug use, drug selling,
and violence. Why do young people commit these offences? Who do
they commit them against? How do they feel afterwards? This book
attempts to answer these important theoretical questions, utilizing
ethnographic research collected over a seven year period and based
around the London inner city borough of Lambeth, including in depth
interviews with young people who have offended and interview
material with those that work with juvenile offenders.
Additionally, Youth Crime and Youth Culture in the Inner City
addresses the key cultural aspects of young people's lives in order
to determine what particular cultural factors surround their
offending behavior.
