Mean Streets
Youth Crime and Homelessness
This field study features intensive personal interviews of more than four hundred young people who have left home and school and are living on the streets of Toronto and Vancouver. The study examines why youth take to the streets, their struggles to survive there, their victimization and involvement in crime, their associations with other street youth, especially within street families, their contacts with the police, and their efforts to rejoin conventional society. Major theories of youth crime are analyzed and reappraised in the context of a new social capital theory of crime.

Über den Autor
John Hagan was born in Presque Isle, Maine, and short-ly thereafter his family returned to Dayton, Ohio, where he was reared and educated. Retiring from a career as a high school English teacher and secondary administrator, he was hired as an adjunct, composition instructor at The University of Dayton, where he taught for six years. Leaving U.D. for total retirement from education, John now spends much of his time between his home in Springboro, Ohio and his labor of love, a forty-acre horse farm in Highland County, Ohio. John earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in English and secondary school administration at Thomas More College, Xavier University, and Miami University. .
