Yet the topic remains under-studied among criminologists. The Delinquent Girl is a "state-of-the-field" evaluation that identifies and analyzes girls who become delinquent, the kinds of crimes they commit and the reasons they commit them. The distinguished academics and practitioners who contributed to this volume provide an overview of the research on girls' delinquency, discuss policy implications and point to areas where further research is critically needed.Female juvenile delinquentsFemale juvenile delinquentsFemale offendersJuvenile delinquencyTeenage girlsFemale juvenile delinquents.Female juvenile delinquents.Female offenders.Juvenile delinquency.Teenage girls.364.36082364.3608352Zahn Margaret1498262AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910782743503321The Delinquent Girl3723773UNINA
