This book explores the principles, practice and challenges in
determining justice system responses to serious offending by
children globally. Divided into four parts, the book provides a
balance of theoretical and empirical insights. Anchored in a
theoretical framework based on the human rights of children, as set
out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it considers
the relationship between scientific evidence (such as brain
development) and the human rights framework, before going to
explore the diversity of responses to children who are found
responsible for serious offences. It brings together experts from
various disciplines to fill a gap relating to serious offending by
children in the literature. Scholars from Africa, Latin America and
Asia, as well as Europe, North America and Oceania provide
perspectives from legally, socially and culturally distinct
jurisdictions. The first part focuses on the theoretical framework
and explores the applicable standards and principles, including the
relevant human rights framework and penological approaches to
sentencing children for serious crimes. The second part analyses
available empirical evidence, including evidence relating to the
profiles of children who commit serious crimes, child and
adolescent development, effective sentencing approaches and
evidence of disparities in responses to serious offending by
children. The third part provides a discussion of justice system
responses to serious offending by children in a range of
jurisdictions or regions with diverse and distinct legal, social
and cultural contexts. Finally, the book uses the theoretical
framework, empirical evidence, and case studies of jurisdictions to
reflect on how principles relating to responses to serious
offending by children can be translated into practice, and to
highlight key debates and issues that will need to be explored into
the future. Adding much-needed international perspectives to the
scholarship addressing the issue, this book will be of great
interest to academics, students, legal practitioners and social
work professionals working on youth justice and children's rights
across the globe.
This book ​presents an original synthesis of the leading
international research on children in conflict with the law,
providing an evidence base for a rights-based justice system.
Informed by international children’s rights standards, this book
presents relevant research findings in a clear, succinct and
accessible manner, identifying the key evidence underpinning three
rights-based themes of Prevention, Diversion and Justice, and
Reintegration. This book is the first analysis to map leading
inter-disciplinary research against the international children’s
rights framework in relation to children and the justice system. In
this way, it provides a unique evidence base for the implementation
of children’s rights in youth justice and will support all those
seeking to study, advocate or implement progressive approaches to
children in conflict with the law.  Â
This activity book is a helpful and creative tool for children aged
4-8 to learn and understand their emotions to help reduce anxiety.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with the 10 Steps to
Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum: The CBT-Based
'Fun with Feelings' Parent Manual. Come and have fun with us, your
feelings! Get to know us so that we can help you express your
feelings any time you need to! Say hello to Happy Henry Honeydew
and see how his eyes light up, his mouth has a great big smile and
how he's always laughing. Sit beside Sad Sally Strawberry and
you'll learn that when she is sad her eyes look down, her face has
a frown, and sometimes she cries. You can show that you are strong,
brave and clever by meeting and getting to know all of your
feelings. By getting to know your feelings, and learning about the
Tools in your Toolbox, you will be able to express and talk about
your feelings whenever you need to.
Recognising, expressing and understanding emotions helps young
children make sense of their life experiences. Children diagnosed
with autism can have significant difficulties with recognising and
processing emotions which can lead to high levels of anxiety as
they struggle to make sense of the unpredictable world around them.
The 'Fun with Feelings' programme is designed to help parents
support their children with emotional regulation and to decrease
anxiety. This guide is structured around 10 stages. The initial
four stages prepare parents to implement the programme with their
child. These stages help parents understand the causes of anxiety
and provide practical strategies for creating a toolbox to reduce
anxiety. The final six stages are used in conjunction with Having
Fun with Feelings on the Autism Spectrum: A CBT Activity Book for
Kids Age 4-8, allowing parents to support their child while working
through the activity book. Written by world-leading experts in the
field, 10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism
Spectrum provides the steppingstones for parents of young children
with autism to better understand their child's emotional skill set
and empower them to understand and articulate their feelings.
