This book explores the principles, practice and challenges in
determining justice system responses to serious offending by
children globally. Divided into four parts, the book provides a
balance of theoretical and empirical insights. Anchored in a
theoretical framework based on the human rights of children, as set
out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it considers
the relationship between scientific evidence (such as brain
development) and the human rights framework, before going to
explore the diversity of responses to children who are found
responsible for serious offences. It brings together experts from
various disciplines to fill a gap relating to serious offending by
children in the literature. Scholars from Africa, Latin America and
Asia, as well as Europe, North America and Oceania provide
perspectives from legally, socially and culturally distinct
jurisdictions. The first part focuses on the theoretical framework
and explores the applicable standards and principles, including the
relevant human rights framework and penological approaches to
sentencing children for serious crimes. The second part analyses
available empirical evidence, including evidence relating to the
profiles of children who commit serious crimes, child and
adolescent development, effective sentencing approaches and
evidence of disparities in responses to serious offending by
children. The third part provides a discussion of justice system
responses to serious offending by children in a range of
jurisdictions or regions with diverse and distinct legal, social
and cultural contexts. Finally, the book uses the theoretical
framework, empirical evidence, and case studies of jurisdictions to
reflect on how principles relating to responses to serious
offending by children can be translated into practice, and to
highlight key debates and issues that will need to be explored into
the future. Adding much-needed international perspectives to the
scholarship addressing the issue, this book will be of great
interest to academics, students, legal practitioners and social
work professionals working on youth justice and children's rights
across the globe.
