This title was first published in 2003. Adolescence is popularly
understood as a transitional phase of turbulence and extremes. It
is also often associated with 'trouble'. Criminal justice
statistics, however, reveal that youth criminality remains a
relatively rare phenomenon, less than one percent of the total
adolescent population in any given year. This exceptional book is
based upon a major Australian research programme to consider the
key social factors impacting upon the lives of young people. A
sample of 1,300 young people was divided into three major
subgroups: a 'control' group, drawn from state secondary schools
and closely approximating the general population; a chronically
marginalized cohort representing a 'vulnerable group', and a group
of offenders, most of whom were incarcerated at the time of the
research. With its rich data source and highly integrated
structure, the book makes a major contribution to our understanding
of adolescent criminality and associated policy both in Australia
and internationally.
