Features: Currently, the issue of juvenile delinquency is becoming increasingly prominent, exhibiting trends of lowization, intelligence, group dialogue, and violence, and is increasingly becoming a significant factor affecting social stability and harmony. Juvenile delinquency involves multiple levels of handling, including prevention, judicial sentencing before and after, serious crimes, and rehabilitation support. The book "Prevention of Crime and Youth Work—Exploration and Practice in Shanghai and Hong Kong" specifically focuses on discussing the prevention of juvenile delinquency, including intervention, handling, and evaluation for those at high risk, on the brink of crisis, or showing behavioral deviations. From multiple perspectives such as politics, civil society, and academia, and across various fields like civil society development, resource integration, and professional development, as well as multiple aspects of work philosophy, methods, and evaluation, the book provides an in-depth and systematic summary and analysis of the theoretical research and practical exploration in crime prevention and youth work in the two regions.
