The bulk of research and writing in criminology remains highly, if
not intentionally, ethnocentric and culturally bound. The field
does exhibit a growing awareness of the potential insights we might
gain from research in political and judicial systems outside the
boundaries of our own. This bibliography assembles literature on
delinquency and the operation of juvenile judicial and correctional
agencies around the world. The international focus of this volume
sets it apart from others. Hartjen and Priyadarsini provide a
comprehensive view of the research on youth criminology and
juvenile justice. The publications included cover a quarter-century
(from 1975 through 2001) of criminological research and writing.
Within each broad topic category is a reference list organized by
individual country to make locating relevant literature for
specific localities easy. Since many references involved research
or comment on two or more localities, a "Multinational" section is
included at the end of each topic grouping. Each reference is
listed alphabetically by author name and accompanied by a brief
annotation. Author and subject indexes help the user find all
referenced publications included. This bibliography will prove to
be highly useful for any individual or institution looking for
references on international youth crime and justice.
