Youth violence has long been a contentious and perplexing issue in current debates on crime policy, not the least because of the sharp increase in violence among young minority males from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. Featuring articles by leading American and European scholars from many fields, this book overviews policy issues and research developments concerning crime and violence among the young.
