About the Book

This edition is a compilation of political talk, media stories, government initiatives and academic research about the biopsychosocial behaviour of youth involved in crime and violence. The purpose of this book is to briefly outline major theories that have examined the root causes of crime and violence and its preventive measures in two parts. The first part reviews the major principles or concepts associated with involvement of youth in crime and violence in twelve chapters and the second part examines various crime prevention strategies and its impact in ten chapters. A number of academic disciplines have developed specific theories to explain the onset and persistence of violent behaviour. Some of these theories focus on how individual propensities– including biological and psychological disorders– increase the probability of violence. At the other end of the spectrum, structural theories propose that variables like poverty, oppression, social inequality and racism must be considered in any explanation of violent behaviour. The discussion provided in the chapters above have highlighted a number of proven and promising programs that can help reduce youth crime and violence. The material of this edition is fruitful for researchers, scholars, professionals, teachers and students. The fact and findings which have given in this book is purely authenticated and tested by author.

The narrative for Matadin Bhangi published by D C Dinkar in “Swatantra Sangram Mein Achhuton Ka Yogdan” (1990) is given in the following words:  "There was a factory in Barrackpore where cartridges were manufactured. Many of the workers of this factory belonged to the untouchable communities. One day one of the workers felt thirsty. He asked a soldier for a mug of water. That soldier was Mangal Pandey. Mangal Pandey, a Brahmin, refused him water because the worker was an untouchable. This was very humiliating for the worker. He retaliated to the Brahmin soldier saying, “ Bara awa hai Brahaman ka beta. Jin kartuson ka tum upayog karat ho, unpar gaaye or suar ki charbi lagawal jaat hai, jinhe tum apan daatun se torkar banduk mein bharat ho. O samay tomhar jati aur dharam kahan jawat.
