The Guilford Press

This book focuses on the small but disturbing percentage of homicides by children that occur each year, providing a brief overview of the legal,&nbsp;individual, and social aspects of this phenomenon.&nbsp; Since the 1980s, these crimes have been on the rise and the resulting legal response has been&nbsp;harsher punishments as well as treatment of children like adults.&nbsp; This has led to a host of failures in the juvenile justice system wherein recidivism&nbsp;is high and general outcome is low. The book reviews the literature on youth homicide, including gender, age, and race factors, as well as individual,&nbsp;familial, and environmental risks. The authors seek to aid in the identification and understanding of juvenile homicide to&nbsp;raise awareness of both a population that receives little formal psychological intervention and of the systemic deficiencies that affect these individuals as well as society itself. Exploring current theories, trends, and common factors in&nbsp;juvenile homicide, this brief aims to improve prevention, intervention, and reintegration of young offenders into the community.
