Title : Youth Delinquency - 13-19 Year Olds Tell Their Crimes - Sebastian Roché - book

Summary :

Sebastian Roché, a sociologist, has become our leading expert on the feeling of insecurity and the prevailing incivility. For years, he has been combating preconceived notions and partisan polemics to examine the facts. 50 to 80% of crimes are committed by 5% of offenders. And only 5% of these same crimes are prosecuted. This is what we must face. Neither the right nor the left are really doing this. Sebastian Roché offers us here an unprecedented book. Not only did he have access to archives and data concerning youth delinquency, but he also methodically collected the testimony of these young people.

He explains why delinquency has become easy and precocious, and how this ease feeds the - false - idea of ​​legitimate violence. He shows us that this delinquency is by no means the preserve of disadvantaged adolescents: academic frustration, for example, is a more significant risk factor than social origin. He finally establishes a transparent correlation between the evolution of family structure and that of delinquency. The author is a strong opponent of political correctness. While he notes an "excessive delinquency" among young people of foreign origin, he maintains at the same time that delinquency is not a social struggle. The ease of committing crimes is an obstacle, he says, to the concern to collectively combat injustice.
