Richard Rosenfeld, Mark Edberg Xiangiming Fang and Curtis S. Florence (Eds.): Economics and Youth Violence: Crime, Disadvantage, and Community
In Economics and Youth Violence: Crime, Disadvantage, and Community, a panel of experts with backgrounds in youth crime and violence from different social science and public health related conducted a literature review and original research compiled by editors Richard Rosenfeld, Mark Edberg, Xiangming Fang, and Curtis S. Florence. The panel was called upon by the CDC, in light of the 2008 recession, to develop plans for future research in the area of economic factors relating to youth violence and to create strategies for prevention and intervention. The review of past literature on the subject as well as the addition of new research findings on the various pathways and moderating factors at play between macroeconomic factors and youth violence brings readers up to speed in the most effortless way possible. The complexities inherent in attempting to study such a multi-faceted phenomenon necessitated a narrowing of focus. Thus, the panel’s efforts were centered on four subdomains that display the manifestations of the effect that economic conditions have on youth violence: families, schools, community resources, and street markets. The well-organized work detailed a variety of studies that asked many relevant questions and managed to hold these core subdomains at its center.
