Beschreibung:
This book examines responses to youth crime in Hong Kong, offering a point of comparison and potential contrast with the majority of examinations of youth crime that focus on western nations such as the US and UK. Examining how officials have responded to youth crime over time, it highlights concerns not only about young people¿s behavior but the need for officials to establish state authority, as well to maintain social cohesion. Hong Kong¿s history reveals an alternative to the `usual story¿ about youth crime found in many western regions and provides an opportunity to begin to develop a comparative criminology.
