This book describes the concept of child victimization in all its
facets. Millions of young people throughout the world face
violence, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and exploitation on
a daily basis. The worldwide victimization of young people can be
prevented, or, at least, its incidence can be greatly reduced, if
purposeful action is taken to do so. This volume researches and
documents some of the ways in which young people throughout the
world are victimized, and suggests strategies for preventing
various forms of child vistimization. Eight distinct forms of
victimization are identified and analyzed in detail. Included are
discussions on child prostitution and pornography, economic
exploitation through child labor and trafficking, physical and
other abuse inflicted on young people in schools and other
institutions, the use of children as armed combatants, and the
denial of the basic needs and rights of children to such things as
home and to education. In each chapter the authors discuss the
nature of the victimization, its global dimensions and prevalence,
and the measures governments and/or others are taking, or failing
to take, to combat the harm based on the concept that youth
victimization is a form of government crime.
The bulk of research and writing in criminology remains highly, if
not intentionally, ethnocentric and culturally bound. The field
does exhibit a growing awareness of the potential insights we might
gain from research in political and judicial systems outside the
boundaries of our own. This bibliography assembles literature on
delinquency and the operation of juvenile judicial and correctional
agencies around the world. The international focus of this volume
sets it apart from others. Hartjen and Priyadarsini provide a
comprehensive view of the research on youth criminology and
juvenile justice. The publications included cover a quarter-century
(from 1975 through 2001) of criminological research and writing.
Within each broad topic category is a reference list organized by
individual country to make locating relevant literature for
specific localities easy. Since many references involved research
or comment on two or more localities, a "Multinational" section is
included at the end of each topic grouping. Each reference is
listed alphabetically by author name and accompanied by a brief
annotation. Author and subject indexes help the user find all
referenced publications included. This bibliography will prove to
be highly useful for any individual or institution looking for
references on international youth crime and justice.
