Reviews
I really enjoy this book, it matches my class objectives perfectly. Once students have a good understanding of the theory, I can help them make the applications. Thanks for this valuable book. --Steve Stokes, Brigham Young University I like the book a great deal--it is easy to read, theoretically explicit, and relates the theories directly to issues of juvenile delinquency, which is very helpful. The empirical data brought to bear on the theories is contemporary and well presented, but the major strength of the book is its extensive critique of each theoretical perspective on both empirical and theoretical grounds. --Michelle Hughes Miller, Southern Illinois University Excellent overview of causes of delinquency--with an in-depth analysis of the most important explanations. Very readable. Students appreciate the clear, concise presentation. --Richard Lawrence, St. Cloud State University
