Over the past decade and a half, girls' involvement in the juvenile justice system has increased. Yet the topic remains under-studied among criminologists. This title presents a 'state-of-the-field' evaluation that identifies and analyzes girls who become delinquent, the kinds of crimes they commit and the reasons they commit them.

Recenzii

"A thoroughly well researched, state of the art overview of the current understanding of delinquency in girls…. Zahn and the contributors to The Delinquent Girl are to be commended for providing us with such a timely, useful and but also sobering volume. The editor and writers who contributed to this book do us all a great service with their thoughtful reviews of the existing literature on all facets of the field of girls’ delinquency. This volume will no doubt become required reading for anyone currently working in the field and for all those who intend to make girls and delinquency the focus of their future work."
—Gender Issues

"A well-written overview of the state of knowledge pertaining to girls’ delinquency that is comprehensive, while also written for a wide audience of researchers, practitioners, and interested citizenry."
—Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice
