Juvenile Delinquency in American Society: Race, Class, and Politics
examines juvenile delinquency and the juvenile justice system as
they are influenced by matters of race and ethnicity. Rooted in
current research, the book explores how race and racism play a role
in which youth are arrested, which are adjudicated delinquents in
juvenile courts, and which end up in residential facilities,
juvenile detention centers, or adult prisons. The content is
organized into four primary units covering the historical context
of race, theories of race and delinquency, the social context of
race and delinquency, and current issues in juvenile justice.
Specific topics include the impact of race on the social
construction of adolescence, measures and correlates of
delinquency, social process, life course, and critical theories,
the school-to-prison pipeline, and corrections and punishment in
the modern era. With its thoughtful exploration of a critical
issue, Juvenile Delinquency in American Society is designed to
serve as a primary text in college and university courses in
criminal justice and juvenile justice. It can also be used to
provide in-service training for professionals at all levels within
the juvenile justice system.
