Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text examines acts of delinquency such as under-age drinking, dope smoking, illicit sex, shoplifting and truancy, and looks at girls who fall into the hands of the justice authorities, most of whom, the author argues, come from Aboriginal communities and housing commission areas. Aimed at those working in the juvenile justice field, as well as those interested in Foucauldian socio-legal theory, this text is based on an empirical study and offers a view of the processes of the juvenile justice system. This work examines the vulnerability of "offending" girls and suggests that female delinquency is manufactured by the system itself.
