About the Authors

Youth, Crime, and Justice is an exceptionally engaging text that is logically organized, clearly written, and comprehensive. Its interdisciplinary and intersectional approach effectively links current research to both historical context and future policy options. Its rich case-studies are skillfully integrated into its coverage of key concepts and findings, providing an excellent foundation for student learning and class discussion.


— Cesar J. Rebellon, George Mason University


Youth, Crime, and Justice is an incredible resource for engaging students on every aspect of youth crime and the juvenile justice system. The cases engage students right away and immerse them into reflecting on why youth commit crime and what our society should do about it. Gebo and Boyes-Watson also give students hope by providing information on what works in the juvenile system to build a foundation for moving forward.


— Kathleen A. Bogle, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice, La Salle University


I can’t emphasize enough how much I enjoy using this book when I teach Juvenile Delinquency. I prefer this textbook over all others because I find every aspect of the authors’ approach ideal for my class structure and objectives. I especially like the accessibility, readability, and lower cost.As a sociology professor, intersectionality is essential for any discussion of juvenile delinquency and this is the only textbook on youth crime and justice I’ve found where intersectionality is an organizing feature. The case studies included at the beginning of each chapter provide a catalyst for discussion and allow students to connect concepts and policies to real people. My students absolutely love this textbook. I have only heard positive things from students about this book – they also prefer this textbook over others which cost too much and present so much information that overwhelms and distracts them from the big picture. I highly recommend this textbook to others teaching similar courses.


— Meredith Huey Dye, Middle Tennessee State University


•Utilizes the pedagogical power of compelling narrative to frame the complex dynamics of the lives of diverse youth within families, communities, schools, child welfare, and juvenile justice systems

•Examines juvenile crime and justice from an intersectional and life course perspective

•Provides a youth development focus, examining not just shortcomings, but successes and promising practices

•Comprehensively covers current, relevant, and important research in youth, crime, and justice



New features

New to this edition:

•Highlighted significant changes that have occurred in the last several years in juvenile justice across states in the U.S. These include continuing to increase the age of criminal responsibility as well as serious consideration to a new category of “emerging adulthood” to age 21 that would reduce criminal capability

•Emphasized recent scholarship on the consistent finding of the victim-offender overlap, and a landslide of new research on the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on delinquent outcomes. These findings impact how violence and delinquency prevention should be addressed as well as how multi-system (juvenile justice and child welfare system) youth are treated.

•Expanded discussions of research on how technology use by youth influences delinquency and victimization.

•Expanded discussion of youth-police relations in the wake of police shootings of unarmed youth, particularly youth of color and the Black Lives Matter Movement.

•Addressed what we know about undocumented youth and immigrant youth who are brought to the attention of the juvenile justice system as well as an expanded discussion of LBTQI youth.

•Changed the case study for several chapters to focus on currency, importance, and critical issues.

•Updated all statistical tables.
