'In this pathbreaking volume Muncie and Goldson bring together
leading authors to examine and compare youth justice systems around
the world. Comparative Youth Justice will be of interest to all
criminologists concerned with comparative penal policy and will be
essential to all scholars of youth justice' - Professor Tim
Newburn, London School of Economics and Political Science and
President of the British Society of Criminology 'Comparative Youth
Justice is what we need in an era of hardening social policies and
irresponsible political demagoguery: thoughtful critiques,
comparative analysis, and a commitment to the rights of youth. John
Muncie and Barry Goldson have done a fine job of bringing together
a group of commentators who know the inner workings of juvenile
justice and what it will take to change the current law and order
model. A book that is required reading for practitioners,
professors, policy makers, researchers, and students concerned
about the bankrupt state of juvenile justice and willing to
consider new ideas and directions' - Tony Platt, California State
University, Sacramento With contributions from leading commentators
from 13 different countries, this carefully integrated edited
collection comprises the most authoritive comparative analysis of
international youth justice currently available. However,
Comparative Youth Justice is not simply an attempt to document
national similarities and differences, but looks critically at how
global trends are translated at the local level. This book also
examines how youth justice is implemented in practice with a view
to promoting change as well as reflection. Each chapter addresses
key critical issues: - the degree of compliance with international
law; - the extent of repenalistion; - adulteration; - tolerance; -
the impact of experiments in restoration and risk management. This
book is designed as a companion volume to Youth Crime and Justice,
edited by Barry Goldson and John Muncie, published simultaneously
by SAGE Publications. 'This is a brilliant set of edited volumes
that will be an indispensable and timely source of information and
analysis for anyone with an interest in issues of youth justice and
comparative criminology.' David A. Green, Oxford University
