The Delinquent Girl cover

A major study defining the delinquent girl, the crimes she commits and why she commits them

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.A major re-examination of who the delinquent girl is, the crimes she commits, and why she commits them

“I have no doubt that this book, which includes some very thorough work on girls' delinquency in the field of criminology, will become a cited reference work for years to come.”The New York Law Journal
