Boys and young men have been previously overlooked in domestic violence and abuse policy and practice, particularly in the case of boys who are criminalized and labelled as gang-involved by the time they reach their teens.

Jade Levell offers radical and important insights into how boys in this context navigate their journey to manhood with the constant presence of violence in their lives, in addition to poverty and racial marginalization. Of equal interest to academics and front-line practitioners, the book highlights the narratives of these young men and makes practice recommendations for supporting these ‘hidden victims’.

Reviews for Boys, Childhood Domestic Abuse and Gang Involvement: Violence at Home, Violence On-Road

"""This book offers crucial recommendations for practice and policy. It will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, policymakers and those who are keen to get beyond simplistic and deterministic perspectives on childhood DVA and engage with the politics of gender, race and class."" Children & Society ""For anyone working with young people involved with violence and drug gangs, this is an important book which gives another perspective to understanding those who have been drawn in to such a world."" Seen and Heard ""Sometimes a book comes along that ...merits attention from practitioners, because it helps them understand the dynamics of the issues they engage with - this is such a book. These accounts do not make for easy reading and I was brought to tears more than once."" Restorative Justice Council, Resolution magazine"
