内容説明
This volume sets out to understand the causes of adolescent fear and its subsequent association with defensive and aggressive behaviours. Responses from a sample of 318 incarcerated male adolescents in a Midwestern state are used to test the "fear of criminal victimization" hypothesis in an attempt to explain subsequent gang membership, weapons possession and juvenile violent activity. The results suggest a social milieu characterized by neighbourhood incivility and victimization experiences which leads male youth to engage in defensive behaviours as a response to fear. This research offers an innovative explanation of violent delinquency that might be used to guide further research in this area.
