新世纪的第一个十年对美国的许多儿童和年轻人来说是致命的十年。尽管加强了街头警力，提高了监禁率，更严厉的判决，更严格地控制非法毒品，并试图减少获得枪支的机会，但联邦调查局的报告显示，仅在2008年就有7,300多名15至29岁的年轻人被谋杀。很明显，传统的减少犯罪战略并没有阻止社会上最脆弱的人群之一所犯下的凶杀案的上升趋势。根据一项独特的纵向研究的结果，《青少年凶杀案罪犯和受害者：风险因素、预测和童年预防》现在为专家们提供了前所未有的分析，这些分析前瞻性地收集了在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡长大的1,517名男孩和年轻男子的数据。以下这些男性从童年到成年早期，检查他们的生活和条件下，他们在一个有代表性的中等规模的美国城市长大，该研究形成了这个独特的体积的基础上，旨在刺激辩论的关键问题的预防和干预，以及消除流行的神话有关的童年和青少年的特点杀人犯和杀人受害者。
The first decade of the new century proved to be a deadly one for many children and young people in the United States. Despite increased policing on the streets, higher rates of incarceration, harsher sentencing, stricter control of illegal drugs, and attempts to reduce access to firearms, FBI reports show that more than 7,300 young people between the ages of 15 and 29 were murdered in 2008 alone. It’s clear that traditional crime reduction strategies have not stemmed the rising tide of homicides perpetrated by and upon one of society’s most vulnerable populations. Innovative, practicable solutions are needed to staunch this lethal trend.Based on the findings of a unique longitudinal study, Young Homicide Offenders and Victims: Risk Factors, Prediction, and Prevention from Childhood now provides experts with unprecedented analysis of prospectively collected data on 1,517 boys and young men who grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Following these males from childhood into early adulthood, examining their lives and the conditions under which they grew up in a representative mid-sized American city, the study forms the basis of this unique volume designed to stimulate debate on key questions of prevention and intervention as well as dispel popular myths about the childhood and adolescent features of homicide offenders and homicide victims.
