More about the book

Focusing on the experiences of over four hundred homeless youth in Toronto and Vancouver, the study delves into their reasons for leaving home and school, survival challenges, victimization, and criminal involvement. It highlights the formation of "street families" and interactions with law enforcement, while also exploring their attempts to reintegrate into society. The research critically examines existing youth crime theories through the lens of a new social capital theory, providing fresh insights into the complexities of youth homelessness and crime.
