Young offenders given custodial sentences in youth institutions
constitute an important group in the context of crime prevention
research, given that offenders within this group are at high risk
of reoffending or continuing with a criminal career into adulthood.
This book explores the significance of custodial openness for
children and youths and how this environment affects future
desistance from crime. In Young Offenders and Open Custody Tove
Pettersson provides powerful support for the view that the
experience of more open custodial forms during the youth custody
sentence is of significance both for providing incarcerated youths
with a more humane environment and for the likelihood of a positive
outcome following their release. Building upon detailed interviews
with convicted youths and staff at the special approved homes in
Sweden, this book offers unique insights into the effect of
punishment on young offenders and their understanding of social
control. Drawing upon quantitative and qualitative data, this book
examines levels of reoffending over time among youths sentenced to
custody, and considers the impact of open sentences. This book will
be useful reading for students and researchers engaged in youth and
juvenile justice, juvenile delinquency, and sentencing and
punishment.
