Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical and Intersectional Gang Studies
Book SynopsisThis book offers a critical and empirical examination of gang life, using an intersectional framework considering race, class, gender, and other characteristics. The book reexamines mainstream definitions of gangs, identifies myths and misconceptions, and presents the complex subcultural or countercultural realities of gang members and their associates. Special attention is given to the importance of structural violence experienced by gang members and their communities. This book also interrogates how mainstream gang research is complicit in the oppression of marginalized individuals who join gangs.Assembling contributions from leading experts involved in gang research and the investigation of street gang culture, this book provides a perspective often missing in the conversation around gangs. Direct input from current and former gang members provides a window into the lived experiences of gang lifea picture more accurate and useful than that afforded by the privileged lens oTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Section 1: Gang DefinitionChapter 2: "Gang Ain’t In My Dictionary": Utilizing Insider Perspectives to Develop a Critical Gang DefinitionJennifer M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Redefining School Safety and Policing
Book SynopsisRedefining School Safety and Policing identifies and works to eliminate systemic issues in school policing that negatively impact students of color, LGBTQIA+ students, and other marginalized populations. Focusing on the fundamental goal of creating safe learning environments, Yarbrough lays out the unintended consequences of involving police in the administrative disciplinary process, as agents of school administrators and enforcers of zero-tolerance policies. Behavioral health support is important to students going through social, emotional, and mental health crises. True equity work brings everyone to a safe space in the middle, encouraging open discussion and courageous dialogue and aiming to create positive change. Yarbrough argues that behavioral health and racial equity are vital to transforming school policing and providing beneficial alternative solutions to school policing that do not lead students to the juvenile or criminal justice system.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Deviant Behavior
Book SynopsisThe new 2022 edition of the most widely taught deviance text brings us into a changing political era. A new chapter on political deviance includes a section that defines political deviance, emphasizing a sociological and not an ideological definition. It also covers which sectors of the society define what constitutes political deviance; and political deviance and its relation to social change. In addition, the chapter on substance abuse provides more discussion of marijuana legalization and decriminalization. Although disease as potential deviance has been covered, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly expands discussions on this topic. Updated throughout, this new edition includes expanded coverage of Black Lives Matter, sexual harassment, the social construction of immigration, and other topics. A new section on logic, reasoning, and verification of facts is an important new feature for student critical thinking while it addresses the recent politics of truth and lying, including QAnon.<Table of Contents Introducing Deviance Explaining Deviant Behavior Constructing Deviance Poverty and the Hierarchy of Social Class Crime, Criminalization, and Criminal Behavior White Collar and Corporate Crime Political Deviance Substance Abuse Sexual Deviance Unconventional Beliefs Mental Disorder Undesirable Physical Characteristics Tribal Stigma

Taylor & Francis Ltd Reaffirming Juvenile Justice From Gault to
Book SynopsisThis book will expand students' knowledge and understanding of the evolution of juvenile justice in the last 50 years. Designed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the landmark case In re Gault, which the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 1967, the authors provide a brief history of juvenile justice, then frame the developments and transformations that have occurred in the intervening years. Topics covered include an overview of the dramatic changes to the field following the spike in youth violence in the 1990s, the superpredator myth, zero-tolerance policies, and sanctions for juvenile offendersparticularly the 2005 abolition of the death penalty and subsequent decision on life without parole. The book also covers child and youth victimization and trauma, and recent prevention and treatment initiatives.Designed for upper-level undergraduates, this text reflects on the evolving U.S. juvenile justice system while anticipating future challenges andTrade ReviewAlida Merlo and Peter Benekos provide a compelling account of how science, ideology, and politics have shaped the evolution of juvenile justice policy. In a comprehensive and compassionate way, they illuminate the mistakes of the past as a way of showing progressive avenues for future reform. Scholarly but accessible, Reaffirming Juvenile Justice is both an essential reference book and ideal for courses focusing on wayward youths. --Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, University of CincinnatiFifty years after the landmark Gault decision revolutionized juvenile justice, Merlo and Benekos undertake a sweeping and comprehensive review of that system. Reaffirming Juvenile Justice powerfully documents legal decisions and key policy debates in the decades that followed. A must-read for those concerned about how the United States treats its most vulnerable youth. --Meda Chesney-Lind, Professor of Women's Studies, University of Hawaii at ManoaMuch has happened since the Gault case was decided some fifty years ago—so much so that it can be hard to keep up with the relevant research and case law spanning multiple disciplines. Fortunately, Merlo and Benekos have done us a huge favor. This book situates the recent developments amidst a backdrop of juvenile justice issues, summarizing key developments, and anticipating the future. From scholars whose careers have been focused on key policy questions, I have no doubt you will learn as much as I have in reading this book. --Alex R. Piquero, Ashbel Smith Professor, The University of Texas at DallasReaffirming Juvenile Justice: From Gault to Montgomery is a well written and informative textbook. The authors provide an in-depth and comprehensive coverage of a range of issues including constitutionality, culpability, and system responses facing the juvenile justice system as well as challenges such as legal defense, disproportionate minority youth contact/involvement with the system, and conditions and the length of confinement. Couched within a historical context, the discussion of the role(s) that political ideology and the media play into the construction of the imagery of youth further sheds light on the complexities involved in the responses to and treatment of juvenile delinquents. A must read! --Michael Leiber, Professor in Criminology, University of South FloridaTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsChapter 1 Developing the Juvenile Justice SystemChapter 2 Demonization of Youth and Politicization of Juvenile JusticeChapter 3 Court Decisions: From In re Gault to Montgomery v.
