Juvenile Violence in a Winner-loser Culture: Socio-economic and Familial Origins of the Rise of Violence Against the Person

Juvenile Violence in a Winner-loser Culture: Socio-economic and Familial Origins of the Rise of Violence Against the Person

by OliverJames (Author)

Synopsis

Since the 1980s, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened - a winner-loser culture has emerged. Marshalling the most up-to-date research on crime and violence, both nationally and internationally, and linking it to trends in social, familial and economic dysfunction caused by deprivation, Oliver James shows how inequality serves to provide the breeding ground for violence and the conditions by which it is perpetuated.
