Six compelling histories of youth crime in the twentieth century
Ages of Anxiety presents six case studies of juvenile justice
policy in the twentieth century from around the world, adding
context to the urgent and international conversation about youth,
crime, and justice. By focusing on magistrates, social workers,
probation and police officers, and youth themselves, editors
William S. Bush and David S. Tanenhaus highlight the role of
ordinary people as meaningful and consequential historical actors.
After providing an international perspective on the social history
of ideas about how children are different from adults, the
contributors explain why those differences should matter for the
administration of justice. They examine how reformers used the idea
of modernization to build and legitimize juvenile justice systems
in Europe and Mexico, and present histories of policing and
punishing youth crime. Ages of Anxiety introduces a new theoretical
model for interpreting historical research to demonstrate the
usefulness of social histories of children and youth for policy
analysis and decision-making in the twenty-first century. Shedding
new light on the substantive aims of the juvenile court, the book
is a historically informed perspective on the critical topic of
youth, crime, and justice.
