Description
A critical sociology-of-law investigation suggests that youth justice in Canada is not simply the result of guilt or innocence but, to a substantial degree, is dependent upon a young offender's social characteristics. This text examines the history of criminology theory and its relation to youth crime, and the history of Canadian youth justice from the Industrial Revolution to the Young Offenders Act.
