Juvenile Delinquency: A Sociological Approach, Twelfth Edition, discusses delinquency as it relates to and emerges from youths' families, neighborhoods, schools, peer groups, social classes, and overall cultural and social environments. With a student-friendly approach, the authors explore the different causes of juvenile delinquency, examine its behaviors and consequences in social contexts, explain the role of the police and court system, and propose strategies for treatment and prevention. Learning outcomes offer students a roadmap for major concepts and key ideas while end-of-chapter outcomes assessments stimulate critical thinking and discussion. In each chapter, "Global Focus on Delinquency" boxes look at delinquency in different societies, cultures, and subcultures and "Controversial Issue" boxes address critical questions.

New to the Twelfth Edition:

  • Dedicated section in each chapter covers intersectionality of social factors such as race, sex, gender, and sexual orientation to examine how they influence adolescent marginality
  • New streamlined chapter combining topics on youth subcultures and gangs reflects the latest developments in the field while streamlining the book into a 15-chapter format
  • New and updated discussion of latest research on the possible connection between video gaming and violence, cyberbullying, and school shootings, which have become prevalent in American culture
  • Expanded coverage of the influence of media is included in all chapters to highlight how our lives are influenced by mass media and especially social media
