Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Crime and Delinquency Development of the Science of Criminology. - Criminology as a system first developed in the eighteenth century. Beccaria summed up the best writings on this subject in 1774 in a book called "Crimes and Punishments." This became the standard for reform in criminal procedure. Its influence is still felt. From it the Classical School took origin. The Classical School was founded on the writings of eighteenth-century Philosophers. This school dominated codes and procedures of the nineteenth century and still influences those of today. The Classical School held that a certain crime must always be punished in the same manner, because all persons are equal; therefore all committing the same crime are equally responsible. Attention was fixed not on the criminal, but on the crime. The theory of punishment was based on deterrence through intimidation. All the principles of the Classical School were based upon the theory of Free Will and the personal moral responsibility of the criminal. All were therefore equally responsible and no individual study of the criminal was necessary. The Neo-classical School developed from the Classical. This school held that some exceptions must be made according to the degree of personal responsibility. It possessed little means, however, of determining this degree of responsibility, and made few exceptions. The Correctionalist School introduced the idea of correction through moral reform of the individual instead of correction through fear alone. The fundamental principles of the classical School were little changed by by the newer schools. these principles still remain essentially the same as when formulated by Beccaria in 1774. Influence of the Classical School. - The Classical, Neo-classical and correctionalist schools paved the way for a new science of criminology. These older schools founded an orderly system based upon definite codes and procedures which had before hardly existed. Philosophy versus Science. - The attempt was made by the older schools to fit the penalty to social requirement. The theory of punishment and reform was not based on biological science: a philosophy rather than a science.

Download or read book Criminology Theory written by Frank P. Williams III and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly acclaimed criminology text presents an up-to-date review of rational choice theories, including deterrence, shaming, and routine activities. It also incorporates current examples of deterrence research regarding domestic violence, drunk driving, and capital punishment, and features thought-provoking discussion of the relativity of crime. The authors explore the crime problem, its context, and causes of crime. The organization of the text reflects the fact that the etiology of crime must be at the heart of criminology. It examines contemporary efforts to redefine crime by focusing on family violence, hate crimes, white-collar misconduct with violent consequences, and other forms of human behavior often neglected by criminologists. Extensive discussion of evolving laws is included, and while the prevalence of the scientific method in the field of criminology is highlighted, the impact of ideology on explanations of crime is the cornerstone of the book.

Book excerpt: In Causes of Delinquency, Hirschi attempts to state and test a theory of delinquency, seeing in the delinquent a person relatively free of the intimate attachments, the aspirations, and the moral beliefs that bind most people to a life within the law. In prominent alternative theories, the delinquent appears either as a frustrated striver forced into delinquency by his acceptance of the goals common to us all, or as an innocent foreigner attempting to obey the rules of a society that is not in position to make the law or define conduct as good or evil. Hirschi analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County, California, contrasting throughout the assumptions of the strain, control, and cultural deviance theories. He outlines the assumptions of these theories and discusses the logical and empirical difficulties attributed to each of them. Then draws from sources an outline of social control theory, the theory that informs the subsequent analysis and which is advocated here.Often listed as a Citation Classic, Causes of Delinquency retains its force and cogency with age. It is an important volume and a necessary addition to the libraries of sociologists, criminologists, scholars and students in the area of delinquency.
