Time and again, young people brutally attack others, cold-bloodedly beating or shooting them and going on rampages. These outbursts often end in tragedy. Our laws protect minors, but how should and can society respond when psychologically and socially neglected violent youths lash out? What is the value of prevention, disciplinary measures, and educational interventions? Is the German juvenile justice system adequate? This book provides an overview of juvenile crime, prevention, disciplinary measures, and juvenile law in Germany.
