Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of
politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of
crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon
survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh,
this book examines how crime impacts upon young people's everyday
lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious
problems as victims and witnesses of crime, than they cause as
offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of
crime to the police, and are left to find their own ways of
managing risk, such as telling cautionary tales about dangerous
people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's
relations with the police, suggesting they are over-controlled as
suspects and under-protected as victims.
