Reviews

Colin Webster, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Teesside: new material in the field of criminology and youth studies. This author has a proven record of publishing in this field. ... offers new and innovative ways of understanding criminal careers ... fills an important gap. I would buy this book. Useful for second and final year undergraduate and postgraduate studies ... an essential purchase for criminological theory - we would purchase in multiple copies for the library. Mark Simpson, Subject Group Leader, University of Teesside: an interesting proposal and I am sure it will be welcomed by specialists, teachers, students and practitioners. There is much to welcome in this text, the author may, however, need to consider the pitch ... and reorganising the chapters. Clearly the book will be useful for students studying youth transitions, youth crime and potentially youth justice. Kevin Haines, Lecturer in Criminology, University of Wales Swansea: the premise of the research is interesting and innovative. The book could be very useful for its literature review in terms of teaching/learning. The synthesis offered is potentially innovative and new. The book will really be of most use if it is rooted in the experience/reality of the lives and social context of those involved in the research.
