Neuere kulturtheoretische Positionen beinhalten das Potenzial eines innovativen Zugangs zu Jugendkriminalitat. Sie wird als Artikulationspraxis analysiert, die in sich komplex und widersprüchlich aufgebaut ist. In dem Buch wird dies vorrangig auf zwei Themenbereiche bezogen: Was ist Jugendkriminalitat im Sinne einer v.a. politischen Praxis? Wie sind Subjekte in sie involviert, die als 'Tater' identifiziert werden? Der gewahlte Zugang ermöglicht eine Perspektive auf diese Grundfragen, die Selbstverstandlichkeiten konstruktiv irritiert. Um dies zu leisten, wird auf verschiedene Positionen der Kriminalitatsforschung eingegangen, so dass ein Überblick über einige 'klassische' und auch neuere Theorien zu (Jugend-)Kriminalitat vermittelt wird.
