{"product_id":"mean-streets-john-hagan-9780521497435","title":"Mean Streets: Youth Crime and Homelessness","description":"This field study features intensive personal interviews of more than four hundred young people who have left home and school and are living on the streets of Toronto and Vancouver. The study examines why youth take to the streets, their struggles to survive there, their victimization and involvement in crime, their associations with other street youth, especially within \"street families,\" their contacts with the police, and their efforts to rejoin conventional society. Major theories of youth crime are analyzed and reappraised in the context of a new social capital theory of crime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hagan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521497434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521497435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"John Hagan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422186881279,"sku":"9780521497435","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_835a6757-ddbb-4bf7-a5e6-0b33166da3f5.jpg?v=1761527509","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mean-streets-john-hagan-9780521497435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
