Rezensionen

"The contributors, who are primarily historians, explore how local and regional populations often 'adopted, adapted, or rejected' Western ideas about juvenile delinquency according to local traditions and circumstances. ... Both social scientists and education scholars will find interest in case studies of delinquency prevention initiatives launched outside formal justice systems. ... In sum, this volume makes a valuable contribution at a time when scholars and policymakers grapple with making sense of youth crises in an increasingly interconnected world." (William S. Bush, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, January, 2017)

"The essays themselves present a wide variety of approaches, and each of them offers new perspectives on the ways in which societies and cultures have addressed the question of juvenile delinquency. ... Taken as a wholethe essays in this volume add both new information and important theoretical perspectives to the study of the history of juvenile delinquency and childhood." (Joseph M. Hawes, The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Vol. 9 (1), Winter, 2016)
