Whereas crime more generally has fallen over the last 20 years,
levels of serious youth violence remain high. This book presents
innovative research into the complex relationship between adverse
childhood experiences and serious youth violence. While the
implementation of trauma-informed approaches to working with
adolescents in the justice system is becoming common practice,
there remains a dearth of research into the efficacy of such
approaches. Foregrounding young people’s voices, this book
explores the theoretical underpinnings of trauma and the
manifestations of childhood adversity. The authors conclude by
advocating for a more psychosocial approach to trauma-informed
policy and practice within the youth justice system.
Can the boxing gym be recognised as an effective space for
supporting desistance? Exploring the psychosocial manifestations of
boxing, this enlightening study reviews conflicting evidence to
determine boxing's place in the criminal justice system. Drawing
upon the empirical insights, with case studies of participants'
backgrounds and their motivations for taking up the sport, Jump
measures the value of the discipline, as well as the respect and
fraternity that some claim boxing provides for young men. This is a
perceptive addition to the debate about sport's role in criminal
desistance that delves deep into themes of masculinity and
violence.
