Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) are now one of
the central features of government policy in the UK for managing
the risk presented by violent and sexual offenders. Although there
has been research and debate concerning the use of MAPPA with adult
offenders, their application to young people has received
relatively little attention until now. Multi-Agency Public
Protection Arrangements & Youth Justice extends the existing
literature on public protection. It provides a detailed exploration
of MAPPA policy and practice in order to prompt further debate
about the implications of the risk paradigm for young people and
youth justice practitioners. In the book, key academics,
practitioners and policy makers consider a range of theoretical and
practical issues raised by the introduction of MAPPA including risk
and children's rights, the use of professional discretion by
practitioners, alternative approaches to risk management and
suggestions for future policy development. It will be of interest
to both professionals and academics working with young offenders
and in youth justice.
