Youth violence has become one of the most contentious and
perplexing issues in recent debates on crime policy. Youth gangs
have become increasingly associated in the public eye with
drug-dealing, firearms and random violence. Magazines publish
stories on "superpredators" and warn that demographic change will
lead to an explosion of predatory violence. Congress provides
billions to the states as an incentive to get tough with juvenile
offenders, including the effective abolition of the juvenile court.
Developmental researchers seek to identify the aspects of childhood
that either lead to, or prevent, juvenile crime. This study
provides an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of policy issues and
research developments concerning crime and violence among the
young.
