Abstract

Devoted solely to the topic of female delinquency and the treatment of young girls by the juvenile justice system. This text reveals the special problems of delinquent girls by considering the impact that growing up female in a patriarchal society has had on their development. It explores the relevance of classic theories of delinquency as applied to female juveniles, and discusses the contemporary reality of the juvenile justice system.
