Anti-social behaviour has become a major political preoccupation of
government and combating it is now a major plank of criminal
justice policy. Yet anti-social behaviour as a concept has been
little studied, and the notion has often been accepted
uncritically. This book aims to meet this need, providing a
critique of the government's use of the concept of anti-social
behaviour and of youth justice strategy more generally. Rougher
Justice foregrounds the perspectives and experiences of young
people themselves. It draws upon recent developments within the
field of cultural criminology to provide an alternative
interpretation of the construction of 'youthful criminal careers'.
It is underpinned by research in three separate areas which focus
on the new youth justice, youthful criminal careers, and
anti-social behaviour and acceptable behaviour enforcement. Central
to the book is an ambition to understand youthful delinquency from
the inside and to recover what is lost in much of New Labour's
youth justice strategy --and the methods adopted by the Youth
Justice Board to evaluate this strategy, that is to say a situated
and interpretive understanding of youthful delinquency drawn from
the perspective of and in the voices of young people themselves.
