Adolescence and Delinquency: The Collective Management of Reputation (Soc Psychology Society)

Adolescence and Delinquency: The Collective Management of Reputation (Soc Psychology Society)

In this book Nicholas Emler and Stephen Reicher present a new explanation for delinquency by asking about the social dynamics of behavior and misbehavior. The central thesis argues that conduct is motivated by reputation: the problem is to explain why so many young people choose to pursue delinquent reputations.
