Juvenile Delinquency: Causes and Control
"Although Robert Agnew is best known for his development of Gender Strain Theory. . .his broader record of publication denotes him as one of the premiere theoretical analysts in the fields of criminology and juvenile deliquency. This text reflects his command of the discipline."--Ryan Spohn,KansasState University, from theCriminal Justice Review, Volume 32-1, March 2007"This is the best written juvenile delinquency text I have read. It is written in a manner that is easily accessible to undergraduate students. The use of the question format for subsections of chapters makes it seem more relevant to students than the same material presented in other texts."--Marvin Krohn,SUNY, Albany
