Product Description

Offering a unique look at subcategories of delinquent youth, primarily suburban youth, Wooden/Blazak use qualitative research strategies to explore how basically good kids can move from the fringes of society to delinquent activities. Accordingly, this text investigates everything from the harmless life of the mall rat to the volatile and dangerous world of skinheads, Satanists, and tagger crews, as well as the culture in the California Youth Authority. This new edition includes more information about girls and different races, as well as the latest information about group typologies. The author quotes from the popular media to highlight his points and make conceptual material relevant to students.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Subject Matter With Outdated Statistics, May 8, 2005
By Granimal (R.P., California) - See all my reviews
This book contains a wealth of information on the deviant youth subculture. Unfortunately, it uses grossly outdated statistics and research. There is no excuse for claiming to discuss and explore the current youth subculture using research from the mid 1960s and statistics from the early 1980s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for anyone working with adolescents, July 15, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Renegade Kids, Suburban Outlaws: From Youth Culture to Delinquency (The Wadsworth Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice) (Paperback)
I wanted to say that I am glad that I took this class with Dr. Wooden, the author, he gives a lot of insights into the world of the adolescents. He gives definitions that are clearly described so that you know the difference between a delinquent and one that does something because it is the "in thing" to do. Gives a great view and intensive study on the behavior of teenagers today compared to the past decade.

1.0 out of 5 stars For anyone studying adolescents, stay clear of this book, November 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Renegade Kids, Suburban Outlaws: From Youth Culture to Delinquency (The Wadsworth Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice) (Paperback)
This book is grossly misinformed. Wooden makes no attempt to study his subject. Rather, he regurgitates things read from letters and pamphlets. He describes one stereotype after another and makes very broad generalizations that would get a professional in trouble. In particular, his chapters on Satanism and the Punk movement sound just like a Donahue episode. He never even speaks to a punk. Instead, in his chapter on Punks, he reads letters from parents and others who have been affected in some way by Punk, obviously biasing the research. That is only one chapter I could pick apart. In conclusion, Wooden is very out of touch with the real issues being presented. I am very angry I bought this book and am surprised he was even published. The fact that he is an award-winning author makes me want to become a writer.
