Description

This course considers how juvenile delinquency is defined and socially constructed. Students will explore a variety of perspective that help us understand juvenile delinquency, such as social process theories, social structural theories, and critical theories. This course considers the realities and challenges that youth experience in a variety of contexts such as the family, school, peers, and gangs. In addition, consideration is given to how society responds to youth who violate social norms and the historical contexts of juvenile justice policy and practices.
