Abstract
Marginalized youth in Canada face a number of struggles, and some deal with multiple risks associated with criminalization. Despite this, most do not come into conflict with the law. This thesis examines how female youth who avoid criminalization understand their experiences through a secondary analysis of depth interviews conducted in 2005 and 2006 on youth violence and other risks associated with criminalization. Drawing upon feminist pathways theory, thematic analysis and theorizing on the narrated self, the thesis explores internal and external resources salient to the young women's journey towards resiliency and responsible adulthood.
