This book provides a comprehensive, student-friendly and critical
introduction to youth justice in England and Wales, offering a
balanced evaluation of its development, rationale, nature and
evidence base. It explores the evolution of definitions and
explanations of youth offending and examines the responses to it
that constitute youth justice. Bringing together theory, policy and
practice, this book provides a balanced exposition of contemporary
youth justice debates, including detailed discussions of
governmental rationales, policy developments, practical issues and
an extensive evaluation of critical academic positions. It includes
a range of features designed to engage and inspire students: 'Stop
and think': Activities challenging students to reflect on important
issues. 'Conversations': Discussions of key themes and issues from
the perspectives and experiences of relevant stakeholders,
including policy makers and activists. 'Telling it like it is':
Testimonies giving voice to the personalised, subjective and
contentious viewpoints of youth justice influencers. 'Controversies
and debates': Prompts to stimulate students to question and
critique established knowledge and understanding by considering
alternative angles. 'Recurring theme alerts': Boxes flagging
recurring themes in the developing construction of youth offending
and youth justice. The new edition has been fully revised and
updated and includes discussion of revised National Standards in
Youth Justice, the new 'Child First' strategic objective for youth
justice, the 'trauma informed practice' movement, the impact of
coronavirus on children in the Youth Justice System and the
continued impact of austerity on policy and practice. This book is
essential reading for students taking courses in youth justice,
youth offending, youth crime, youth work and social policy.
