Delinquency in Society provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding the evolving phenomenon of delinquency. Now thoroughly updated to reflect the most current trends and developments in delinquency, the authors prepare their readers to understand all facets of delinquency, including discussions of the history, institutional context, and societal reactions to delinquent behavior, as well as the biological and psychological theories of behavior, in clear and accessible language. In their latest edition, Regoli and Hewitt have streamlined the text while maintaining their unique coverage of essential but often overlooked topics; examples include such key issues as the significance of gender role development on patterns of female delinquency, an entire chapter devoted to youth violence, and student-friendly coverage of theories of delinquency. Lively and engaging boxed sections, "The Face of Delinquency" and "Delinquency Prevention", highlight the stories behind the theories and discussions. The fourth edition maintains strong pedagogy, including "Maps of Theories" and "Theories in a Nutshell", and each chapter includes "Getting Connected" Internet exercises, Discussion Questions, Self-Tests, Chapter Outlines, Glossary of Terms, and useful references in the Appendix and indices.

From the Publisher:
Now available in paperback and streamlined (only 15 chapters compared with 18 in the 3rd edition) to better fit a one-semester course, without sacrificing the quality and appeal of the previous edition
New 'Getting Connected' Internet exercises at the end of each chapter direct students to supplementary websites on topics discussed in the chapter.
Discussions of biological and sociological theories have been combined from previous chapters 4 and 5, to create a single comprehensive chapter 4, 'Biological and Psychological Theories.'
The previous edition's chapter on juvenile diversion has been removed, with essential information integrated into the chapters on the police and the juvenile court, to make room for discussion of current societal responses to juvenile delinquency.
One of the most current texts available, Delinquency in Society, 4/e has added coverage of controversial contemporary issues such as school violence and the competing theories used to explain it, school dropouts, gang resistance education, and juveniles in adult prison.
Provides a balanced theoretical approach to the study of delinquency, exploring the historical, biological, psychological, and sociological explanations for delinquency, as well as looking beyond the system to the children and youths involved.
Delinquency in Society, 4/e offers the most complete coverage of female delinquency, including information on the significance of gender role development.
The authors devote an entire chapter to youth violence, including contemporary topics such as gangs, drugs, the role of firearms, and violence prevention.
This edition retains its clear and thorough presentation of theories of delinquency. Summary tools such as 'Theories in a Nutshell' and 'Theory Maps' illustrate the defining points of major theories.
