Children and Crime

Autor Connie M. Tang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2018
Children and Crime offers a multidisciplinary and research-based approach to the study of child maltreatment and juvenile delinquency. Connie M. Tang first examines children as victims of maltreatment, exploring how developmental trauma and societal factors influence children's behavior and psyche. Topics covered include child neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse. Later chapters address how children come into conflict with the law and discuss gang membership and substance abuse. Engaging, real-life case studies illustrate the intersectionality of race, gender, and crime, as well as the role of Child Protective Services and juvenile courts. In particular, Tang examines how abuse and neglect can later play a role in a child's delinquency. Children and Crime provides an innovative and accessible text for psychology, social work, and criminal justice courses in child abuse, neglect, and delinquency.

About the Author

Recenzii

Children and Crime offers the reader a thorough examination of both juvenile victimization and offending. Throughout the two major sections (children as victims and children as offenders), the work includes a rich description of theories, case studies, statistics, important policy, and procedure taken by professionals and institutions when engaging with juvenile victims and offenders. In this thoroughness, however, lies accessible writing for both academic and nonacademic audiences alike; a feat that is not always easy to achieve.
Each chapter features learning outcomes, tables and figures, critical thinking questions, and a glossary. With its notable synthesis of theory and research, Children and Crime is more than a resource for students; it is valuable for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners in fields such as social work, psychology, education, and criminal justice.
Children and Crime covers the issues related to children as both the perpetrators and victims of crime. True case studies capture the reader's attention and illustrate the relevant research findings, while thought-provoking questions throughout stimulate reflection and application.
Children and Crime presents an impressive synthesis of theory, research methods, case histories, and the latest research concerning children as victims and perpetrators of crime. It should be the text of choice for every course-undergraduate and graduate-concerning children and the law, as the book provides authoritative coverage on every important topic in the area. The book is an absolute delight to read! Case studies presented at the outset draw readers new to the field into the intellectual issues that are thoroughly explored in each chapter, while experienced researchers will find exciting ideas and lines of investigation from a variety of fields.
For the past thirty years I've taught about many of the topics in this book in different classes, but it never occurred to me to combine these topics into a single course on children and crime. Maybe it never occurred to me because I never saw a textbook on the topic. Children and Crime changes that. This textbook is easy to read yet packed with valuable information. Students and instructors will love it.
This is a really valuable book. It is not a general discussion of children and the law, or even an extensive discussion of the laws of various countries concerning a single topic. Much more useful for most readers, Children and Crime brings together overviews of relevant topics in ways that introduce important ideas to beginning students or general readers, and that prepare readers to go more deeply into the complex research literature.
