This book explores how young people perceive the severity of crime and delinquency. It particularly addresses whom or what they consider to be the victims of crime and delinquency, how they analyze and assess appropriate responses by the criminal justice system, as well as their place within it. The book proposes tools for developing a more elaborate and robust understanding of what constitutes crime,Â identifyingÂ those affected by it, and what is deemed adequate or appropriate punishment. In so doing, it offers thick description of young peoples conceptions of and experiences with crime, delinquency, justice and law, and usesÂ this description to interrogate the role of the state in influencing - indeed, shaping - these perceptions.
