Pre-Owned Juvenile Delinquency and Its Origins (Hardcover) 9780521224772

First published in 1979, this book examines past thought and research about the social and psychological causes of juvenile delinquency in Western society. In his search for a better understanding of delinquency, the author shows the usefulness of examining the impact of all the variables at once and finds that the major theories of delinquency complement rather than contradict one another.
