How did Scotland's criminal justice system respond to marginalised
street children who found themselves on the wrong side of the law,
often for simple vagrancy or other minor offences? This book
examines the historical criminalisation of Scotland's Victorian
children, as well as revealing the history and early success of the
Scottish day industrial school movement - a philanthropic response
to juvenile offending hailed as 'magic' in Charles Dickens's
Household Words. With case studies ranging from police courts to
the High Court of Justiciary, the book offers a lively account of
the way children experienced Scotland's early juvenile justice
system.
