This title was first published in 2002: Becoming Delinquent:
British and European Youth, 1650-1950 provides a critical synthesis
of the growing body of work on the history of British and European
juvenile delinquency. It is unique in that it analyzes definitions
of and responses to, disorderly youth across time (from the
mid-seventeenth to the mid-twentieth centuries) and across space
(covering developments across Western Europe). This comparative
approach allows it to show how certain themes dominated European
discourses of delinquency across this period, not least panics
about urban culture, poor parenting, dangerous pleasures, family
breakdown, national fitness and future social stability. It also
shows how these various threats were countered by recurring
strategies, most notably by repeated attempts to deter delinquency,
to divide responsibility between the state, civil society and the
family, and to find a "proper" balance between moral reform and
physical punishment, between care and control.
