Authors Pamela Wilcox, Graham Ousey, and Marie Skubak Tillyer studied crime among students located across diverse middle- and high-school settings to investigate why some students engage in delinquency-but others do not-and why some students are more prone to victimization. \u003ci\u003eSchool Zone\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the three key interactional elements-context, victims, and offenders-to understand and explain the impact of common crimes such as theft, weapon carrying, drug possession and the verbal, physical, and sexual harassment of classmates. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors also consider how individual students and schools respond to crime and threats. They analyze the variables that schools can control in planning and practice that explain why some schools have higher crime rates. \u003ci\u003eSchool Zone\u003c\/i\u003e uses empirical studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the patterns and causes of variation in individual- and aggregate-level school-based offending and victimization experiences while also addressing the adequacy of wide-ranging criminological explanations and crime prevention policies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn their conclusion, the authors assess the extent to which currently popular strategies of school crime prevention align with what they have discovered through their problem-analysis framework and scientific understandings of student offending and victimization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Wilcox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439920362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439920367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023","brand":"Pamela Wilcox","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057713049855,"sku":"9781439920367","price":104.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d86403e-20e7-4495-bdf8-85218dfe38b4.jpg?v=1685048505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/school-zone-pamela-wilcox-9781439920367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
