ADOLESCENT CRIME: INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND LIFESTYLES

"This book examines young people's involvement in crime (including crimes of violence, vandalism, shoplifting, burglary and car crime) as both victims and offenders." "The findings of this study suggest the existence of three main groups of adolescent offenders: propensity induced offenders, life-style dependent offenders and situationally limited offenders, groups of offenders having different causal backgrounds to their crime involvement, and who therefore may warrant different strategies for effective prevention."--Jacket.
