{"product_id":"b0gfnnm1pj","title":"Understanding Youth Crime: An Australian Study (Routledge Revivals)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis title was first published in 2003. Adolescence is popularly understood as a transitional phase of turbulence and extremes. It is also often associated with 'trouble'. Criminal justice statistics, however, reveal that youth criminality remains a relatively rare phenomenon, less than one percent of the total adolescent population in any given year. This exceptional book is based upon a major Australian research programme to consider the key social factors impacting upon the lives of young people. A sample of 1,300 young people was divided into three major subgroups: a 'control' group, drawn from state secondary schools and closely approximating the general population; a chronically marginalized cohort representing a 'vulnerable group', and a group of offenders, most of whom were incarcerated at the time of the research. With its rich data source and highly integrated structure, the book makes a major contribution to our understanding of adolescent criminality and associated policy both in Australia and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52829837623512,"sku":"YSL46360","price":31.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/61OpJT1PJtL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793188225","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0gfnnm1pj","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
