- the demographics, economics, and history, as well as a fascinating and disturbing cultural analysis of the ever-increasing rate of juvenile delinquency in Japan
- the influence of peers and culture on Vietnamese youth gangs in Honolulu
- gender-difference studies of mixed-culture incarcerated adolescents—and what these youths have to say about the detention facility where they go to school
- a careful analysis of homes, schools, and neighborhoods in terms of their dysfunctions and how they increase the likelihood that their youth will spend time with similar peers and without adult supervision
