This unique volume, comprised of contributions from top experts, reviews and critiques the empirical literature in all areas of juvenile delinquency, primarily from a psychological perspective. This is the only such comprehensive review since Quay's contribution in 1965. It is an all-encompassing, up-to-date handbook on what is presently known about the psychology of juvenile delinquency. Chapters cover epidemiology, social ecology, patterns of delinquent behavior, biogenetic factors, family interaction and delinquent behavior, institutional treatment, prediction, prevention, research methods, and more.
