This course is an introduction to the nature and extent of delinquency and youth violence. Employing a variety of perspectives, this course treats youth crime as both a social and criminological problem and explores social attitudes, theoretical perspectives, and policies and trends in processing and adjudicating youthful offenders. The media's coverage of juvenile delinquency, the response of juvenile justice and adult criminal justice agencies, and the role of the family, school, and community in preventing and controlling juvenile delinquency will also be covered.
