Juvenile crime
Jacqueline Langwith
- Reading
- Read one essay at a time and consider how its claims compare with other viewpoints in the collection. The questions and annotated references can support follow-up when a topic raises further questions.
- Themes
- Different perspectives on juvenile crime: Essays consider possible causes of juvenile crime and measures to prevent it, with varying viewpoints. The collection is structured to set out contrasting perspectives; that format supports comparison rather than a single stated position.
- Worth knowing
- The subject includes crime, violence and young people’s contact with the justice system.
