The textbook "Juvenile Delinquency" provides an overview of central aspects of current empirical and theoretical knowledge regarding juvenile crime. Unlike most existing overview works, it adopts an educational perspective. This aligns with the fact that education is the primary principle in addressing delinquency. A fundamental aspect of the textbook is its social constructivist stance, meaning that juvenile delinquency is viewed as a cultural interpretative achievement, involving various actors in its formation (public, police, social educators, politics, etc.).
