Preventing Juvenile Theft in Hong Kong: A Pour-level Strategy

Abstract Theft is the most common criminal offence committed by youngsters in Hong Kong, and it is no exaggeration to state that the juvenile crime problem will not be improved unless the number of juvenile thefts can be reduced. Crime control through punishment is not an effective way by itself to deal with the problem of juvenile theft, and crime prevention may be a more proactive means of dealing with the issue. Based upon the qualitative data abstracted from semi-structured interviews with 30 subjects aged between 10 and 17, the author summarizes the key features of juvenile theft in Hong Kong and proposes a four-level juvenile crime prevention strategy.
