- W2808820340 abstract "Abstract In twentieth-century Gold Coast, youth offending became a metonymy for wider concerns about the impact of urbanization and colonial modernity. Urbanization, migration, unemployment, poverty, the disintegration of family and “tribal” structures, and Western culture were all blamed for the emergence of delinquency. This article analyzes changing constructions and treatment of delinquency from c.1929 to 1957, drawing on contemporary sociological research, popular culture, and metropolitan debates, as well as archival material from prisons, welfare, and probation departments in Accra. Whereas in other parts of West Africa, fears about delinquency focused on gangs and violence, the main categories of delinquency in the Gold Coast were theft, “immoral” offenses, intelligent offenders and proto-criminals, and “care and protection” cases. Rehabilitation was marked by a constant tension among punishment, reform, and the construction of economically productive colonial citizens. Juvenile delinquency formed a significant and symbolic part of the disciplinary techniques, discourses, and institutions of the late colonial state." @default.
