Coping with a Spoiled Self. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 148
Despite the increasing concern over Asian delinquency
in Canada, there is a paucity of research in this
area. This book reports a qualitative study on the
experiences of Asian youth in the
criminal justice system. Analyses support that
negative self image is one of the key factors for
offending. Contrary to general belief, leaving an
Asian youth gang is
less difficult than anticipated and these youth are
committed to conventional norms of society regardless
of their level of criminal involvement. These
analyses inform policy makers and provide practical
information for social workers, probation officers,
police and other helping professionals
in juvenile justice system.
