This field study, featuring intensive interviews of youth living on the streets of Toronto and Vancouver, examines why youth take to the streets, their struggles to survive, victimization, involvement in crime, contacts with the police, and efforts to rejoin conventional society. Major theories of youth crime are analyzed and reappraised.
