In this lucid, original, and provocative study, Professor Cusson advances a theory of delinquent behaviour that is both disarming and convincing. Delinquent behaviour, he reminds us, is fairly widespread among young people of all classes and backgrounds - it is not it is not, as some would like to believe, exclusively a lower-class phenomenon. Most adolescents, at one time or another, commit acts that are violations of the law. Why do they do so?Delinquent activity affords more advantages than is generally supposed. It permits adolescents to satisfy numerous desires, to resolve very real problems, to live intensely, and to enjoy themselves thoroughly. It is one means of obtaining what most of us are looking for: excitement, possessions, power, and the defence of essentail self-interests.However, only a minority of adolescents, mainly restless youngsters concerned with the present, become deeply involved in crime. They do so because this seems to be the solution most readily available to them. Having problems at school and in the labour market, they find that doors normally open to those who enter adult life are closed to them. They associate with friends who initiate them in criminal techniques and become their allies in delinquent ventures. This association opens the way to illegal activities that will enable them to achieve their goals.Translated and adapted from his book Delinquants pourquoi?, Cusson's study is enlivened by interesting and appropriate examples drawn from a large European and North American literature. Moreover, it ranges from philosophy to the behavioural and then to the biological sciences with ease and fluidity. It will stimulate the thinking of student and general reader alike.

Psychology of Gang Involvement expands existing knowledge by applying psychological knowledge to gangs, including how gang members think, their mental and emotional well-being, and their perceptions of gang involvement, as well as issues relating to gang prevention and intervention strategies.This book offers readers a clearer understanding of the important role that social psychological processes play in the formation and maintenance of gangs and gang membership. It will enhance readers' understanding of gang members' social cognition, emotional intelligence, well-being, and mental health, as well as how these factors potentially promote and sustain individual gang involvement. Readers will discover also how these important psychological characteristics vary according to an individual's commitment to a gang. Organized in three sections, the first focuses on issues relevant to theoretical perspectives of gang involvement. Chapters include detailed examinations of a gang member's experiences and the implications of these for theoretical development, and considerations of the importance of social and psychological issues such as group processes and levels of commitment to gang membership to, understand and explain involvement in gangs. The second section centers on issues such as adverse childhood experiences and trauma, and examines their links to male and female gang membership as potential risk factors and outcomes of gang involvement. The section concludes by contemplating how the mental health, traumatic experiences, and involvement in violence compares between gang members and other violent men in adulthood. The final section considers current responses to gang membership by evaluating individual and group-based approaches to gang prevention and intervention strategies, and concludes with a theoretical conceptualization of how a strengths-based approach could work to reduce gang involvement.This book will be a useful text for a wide range of readers interested in, or working with gang members, including academics and students, practitioners, youth workers, clinicians, and criminal justice agents.

Psychology of Gangs expands existing knowledge by applying psychological knowledge to gangs, including how gang members think, their mental and emotional wellbeing, and their perceptions of gang involvement, as well as issues relating to gang prevention and intervention strategies.

Whereas crime more generally has fallen over the last 20 years, levels of serious youth violence remain high. This book explores the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and serious youth violence.

The historical context of colonisation situates the analysis in Children, Care and Crime of the involvement of children with care experience in the criminal justice system in an Australian jurisdiction focusing on residential care, policing, the provision of legal services, and interactions in the Children's Court.

Depending on their dynamics, neighbourhoods may serve to contain or exacerbate youth violence. This book uses fascinating ethnographic and interview data to explore the disappearance of localized relationships in a South London housing estate. Through a comparative analysis of the experiences of different generations, James Alexander considers the impact of both wider socio-economic developments and the gradual move from neighbourly to professional support for young people. As well as evaluating the effectiveness of youth work programmes, he considers how the actions of neighbours and the decisions of policymakers influence how supported young people feel and, consequently, their vulnerability to criminal influences.

For many children and young people, Britain is a harmful society in which to grow up. This book contextualizes the violence that occurs between a small number of young people within a wider perspective on social harm. Aimed at academics, youth workers and policy makers, the book presents a new way to make sense of this pressing social problem. The authors also propose measures to substantially improve the lives of Britain's young people in areas ranging from the early years to youth services and the criminal justice system.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Recht, Kriminalität abw. Verhalten, Note: 2,0, Katholische Fachhochschule Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die folgende Hausarbeit befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen abweichendem Verhalten von Jugendlichen und der Jugendkriminalität. Zunächst betrachten wir abweichendes, deviantes und delinquentes Verhalten. Dazu befassen wir uns mit den verschiedenen Formen von Devianz und dem Klassifikationsmodell jugendlicher Delinquenz von Terrie Moffitt. Des Weiteren setzen wir uns mit sozialen Problemlagen und dem Thematisierungsmodell nach Giesen auseinander. Außerdem greifen wir die Grundlagen der Jugendkriminalität auf und beschreiben die neun Thesen zu den Gründen kriminellen Verhaltens nach Sutherland. Ein zentraler Punkt unserer Hausarbeit ist das Entstehen sozialer Problemlagen aufgrund abweichenden Verhaltens von Jugendlichen. Hierzu nehmen wir Bezug auf die Theorien abweichenden Verhaltens nach Bernd Dollinger und Jürgen Raithel und bearbeiten die Frage, in welchem Einfluss Peer-Groups und Subkulturen im Zusammenhang mit abweichendem Verhalten und der Jugendkriminalität stehen. Um dies besser zu erläutern, gehen wir auch auf die Subkulturentheorie nach Cohen ein und setzen uns kritisch mit dem Thema Peer-Groups auseinander.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Recht, Kriminalität abw. Verhalten, Note: 1,3, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Veranstaltung: Prävention und Intervention bei sexualisierter Gewalt und sexuellem Missbrauch, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Immer noch gibt es in unserer Gesellschaft die Wahrnehmung, dass Kinder und auch Jugendliche reine und sexuell uninteressierte Menschen sind. Die Vorstellung, dass bereits junge Heranwachsende sexuelle Neigungen haben und eventuell sogar ein sexuell grenzverletzendes Verhalten entwickeln können, ruft bei den meisten Menschen ein Unbehagen und Widerwillen hervor. Dabei werden ein Drittel aller Sexualdelikte von Kindern und Jugendlichen verübt. Doch welche Belastungs- und Risikofaktoren können innerhalb des Familiensystems zu diesem sexuell unangemessenen Verhalten beitragen? Da diese Thematik erst in den letzten Jahren auch gesellschaftlich mehr in den Vordergrund gerückt ist, habe ich mich entschieden, dieses Thema meiner Hausarbeit zu widmen. Da ich als ausgebildete Erzieherin bereits einige Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen hinsichtlich sexuell grenzverletzenden Verhaltens bei Kindern zwischen drei und sechs Jahren gemacht habe, interessiert mich dieses Thema zusätzlich. Ziel dieser Ausarbeitung ist es, die Wichtigkeit des Hintergrundes bezüglich der Herkunftsfamilie und der familiären Biographie der kindlichen und jugendlichen Täter aufzuzeigen. Zu Beginn werde ich das normale kindliche Sexualverhalten und das sexuelle Missbrauchsverhalten von Kindern und Jugendlichen definieren, damit jeder Leser auf dem gleichen Wissensstand ist. Es gibt zudem etliche Definitionen, die z.T. erhebliche Unterschiede aufweisen, sodass es wichtig ist, zu wissen, mit welcher Ausgangsdefinition gearbeitet wird. Danach nenne ich Zahlen und Fakten aus dem Hell- und Dunkelfeld, mit Zuhilfenahme der polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik aus dem Jahr 2014 (PKS) und einer Repräsentativbefragung der Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung 2015. Im Anschluss geht es um den Kern der Hausarbeit, nämlich um die Belastungs- und Risikofaktoren innerhalb der Herkunftsfamilien der kindlichen und jugendlichen Täter. Dabei sollen die eventuellen Familienstrukturen, die Folgen eigener Misshandlungen und Missbrauchserfahrungen in der Familie, die sozioökonomischen Faktoren und die Merkmale sexuell aggressiver Kinder und Jugendlicher aufgezeigt werden. Sodann erläutere ich das bindungstheoretische Modell nach Bowlby zur Entstehung sexuell auffälligen Verhaltens von Kindern und die Tätertypologie nach Schorsch. Zum Abschluss gebe ich einen Einblick in die Empfehlungen für den fachlichen Umgang mit übergriffigen Kindern in Kindertagesstätten.

I PERKER4LIFE oplever vi det hårde miljø i ghettoen gennem den unge Jamals øjne. Selvom Jamal både har et godt hoved og er et empatisk menneske, bliver han sammen med sine venner alligevel fastholdt i kriminalitet i dette parallelsamfund, hvor man dyrker volden, æren og loyaliteten over for venner og familie. Eftersom flere af drengene pines af deres voldelige og dominerende fædre, er det således umuligt for dem at forlade miljøet og opbygge sig et normalt liv. Da faren til vennen, Ahmed sætter hele sin familie i dyb gæld, eskalerer problemerne dog for drengegruppen, og gør drømmen om et nyt liv uden kriminalitet endnu mere fjern. ̋Jeg prøver, wallah jeg prøver at ændre mit liv hver evig eneste dag, men det er bare, som om, jeg bliver hevet ind i det gang på gang. Som om, at det ikke er meningen, at jeg skal sejre, at min skæbne er forseglet, og at jeg er dømt til at leve livet for at lade andre lære af, hvor fucked op mit liv er, så de kan nå at ændre deres, mens jeg skal lide under mit. ̋
