Girls and Violence : Tracing the Roots of Criminal Behavior
ISBN: 9781588268389 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Seeking to better understand the processes that push teenage girls to acts of criminal violence, Judith Ryder explores the relationship between childhood victimization and adolescent delinquency.
