* Real life stories with expert analysis * Case studies and comment
* Provides a valuable perspective on youth offending * Contains key
messages about youth crime The voices of young offenders-the real
life stories behind the worrying and sometimes tragic lives of
those who get into trouble with the law. Setting these within the
context of descriptions of youth justice policy, Jackie Worrall
conveys to her readers an understanding of how and why young people
become offenders going far beyond that to be gleaned from everyday
rhetoric and theory. Why Did You Do It? contains raw, first-hand
accounts of young people involved in crime. These stories cast a
different light on youth offending to that so often portrayed by
the media, making this new and insightful work a valuable resource
for anyone trying to grasp the social, penal or criminological
implications of youth crime. What are the traps that can ensnare
young people as they grow up and the triggers which can so easily
see them onto the wrong side of the tracks? In Why Did You Do It?
Jackie Worrall sets out their explanations, examines a critical
phase in their lives and dissects the political mantra, over-tidy
solutions and off-the-cuff responses. Review 'Having worked with
offenders for decades, Jackie Worrall's experience and knowledge is
unparalleled' Paul McDowell, CEO, Nacro. Author Dr Jackie Worrall
was born in London and read law at Warwick University before
working as a probation officer in Birmingham and Warwickshire. In
1982, she joined Nacro, the crime reduction charity, as manager of
a youth training scheme. During her career she took on a variety of
crime-related responsibilities for Nacro, culminating in her role
as that organization's Director of Policy and Public Affairs-and
hence her unrivalled knowledge and experience when dissecting the
explanations or excuses in this book. Foreword With a Foreword by
Paul MacDowell, Chief Executive of Nacro.
