Beskrivning

Boys and young men have been previously overlooked in domestic violence and abuse policy and practice, particularly in the case of boys who are criminalized and labelled as gang-involved by the time they reach their teens.Jade Levell offers radical and important insights into how boys in this context navigate their journey to manhood with the constant presence of violence in their lives, in addition to poverty and racial marginalization. Of equal interest to academics and front-line practitioners, the book highlights the narratives of these young men and makes practice recommendations for supporting these ‘hidden victims’.

Recensioner i media

“For anyone working with young people involved with violence and drug gangs, this is an important book which gives another perspective to understanding those who have been drawn in to such a world.” Seen and Heard "Jade Levell emphasises that the vast majority of children who grow up with domestic violence do not end up in criminal gangs. This is because domestic violence is so common. And she also emphasises that not all boys who are exposed to domestic violence become criminals and violent themselves." Dagens Hyheter
