Examine the factors that contribute to increasingly violent youth
crimes in the United States! Kids Who Commit Adult Crimes: Serious
Criminality by Juvenile Offenders is an examination of today's
serious, chronic, and violent youthful offender. This vital book
explores the relationship between youth and serious, violent
antisocial behavior in America, examining its antecedents, its
onset, and its situational and motivating factors. From the
Editor's introduction: "The increasingly serious nature of juvenile
criminal behavior has been felt across the country as youth
violence, violent youth gangs, drug-related offenses, and other
delinquent and criminal conduct has changed the way we regard
minors and delinquent behavior. Recent times have seen an explosion
in school tragedies, juvenile homicides, teen battering, date rape,
youth family violence, teenage alcohol and drug abuse, and related
youthful offenses." Kids Who Commit Adult Crimes, divided into four
parts, takes an incisive look at these issues and more: Part I
explores serious juvenile crime, including its magnitude; youth
violence; kids, drugs, and crime; school crime and violence; youth
gangs and criminality; dating violence; and family violence. Part
II examines explanations of juvenile delinquency and criminal
behavior from biological, psychological, and sociological
perspectives. Part III addresses juvenile crime and the justice
system, including the police and juvenile offenders, youths and the
juvenile and adult courts, and juvenile offenders in custody and
confinement. Part IV examines responses to the problem of serious
and violent juvenile offending and its precursors, including
federal laws and prevention, intervention, and control strategies.
Kids Who Commit Adult Crimes goes farther in its examination of
youth who commit adult-like violence than other books in the field,
with chapters on dating violence and family violence, in addition
to school and gang violence, substance abuse issues, and more.
