This volume brings together scholars and practitioners specialising
in juvenile justice from the US, Europe, alongside scholars from
Africa and Asia who are working on human rights issues in
developing countries or countries in transition. The book thus
presents two types of papers, the first being descriptive and
analytical academic papers on whole systems of juvenile justice or
certain parts thereof (e.g., aftercare, restorative justice, etc.).
These topics are presented as essential for the development of new
juvenile justice systems. The second group of papers deal with
efforts to promote reform through international activity (PRI, DCI,
DIHR), and through efforts to utilise modern theory in national
reforms in developing countries (Malawi, Nepal, and Serbia) or in
countries experiencing current or recent political and systemic
changes or developments (South Africa, Germany, and Poland). The
volume is also intended to throw light on recent trends in juvenile
crime in various countries, the relationship between actual
developments and popular and political perceptions and reactions to
such developments, including the efforts to locate effective
alternatives to the incarceration of young offenders. At the same
time as the search for such alternatives is being intensified
through international exchange and experimentation, the
amelioration of harsh measures against juvenile law violators is
often countered by political and public outcries for security and
demonstrative public intervention against misbehavior. A streak of
new moralism is clearly discernable as a counteracting force
against more humane reform efforts. The volume throws light on
developments in the actual parameters of juvenile offending, public
and political demands for security and public intervention, and
measures to provide interventions which are at the same time
compatible with international human rights instruments.
