EDCE 7400 - Youth Violence

Explores some of the causes and consequences of such forms of juvenile delinquency as violence, school shootings, gang membership, drug use, and running away. More than examining different categories of juvenile offenses, however, will introduce students to the study of juvenile delinquency including how youth norm breaking has been measured, defined, and theoretically explained from the 19th- to the 21st- century. In addition, will examine some of the formal and informal institutions designed to manage and control young offenders.
