How does the law deal with young offenders, and to what extent
does the law protect and promote the rights of young people in
conflict with the law? These are the central issues addressed by
Young Offenders and the Law in its examination of the legal
response to the phenomenon of youth offending, and the contemporary
forces that shape the law.
This book develops the reader's understanding of the
sociological, criminological, historical, political, and
philosophical approaches to youth offending in England and Wales,
and also presents a comparative review of developments in other
jurisdictions. It provides a comprehensive critical analysis of the
legislative and policy framework currently governing the operation
of the youth justice system in England and Wales, and evaluates the
response of the legal system in light of modern legislative
framework and international best practice. All aspects of trial and
pre-trial procedure affecting young offenders are covered,
including: the age of criminal responsibility, police powers, trial
procedure, together with the full range of detention facilities and
non-custodial options.
Young Offenders and the Law provides, for the first time, a
primary source of reference on youth offending. It is an essential
text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Law,
Criminology, and Criminal Justice Studies.
