What knowledge and skills do you need to practise effectively as
a professional within the youth justice system? What values should
inform your work with children and young people subject to criminal
justice sanctions? These are the central questions addressed by the
editors and contributors in this comprehensive new text.
The Youth Justice Handbook provides an essential resource for
practitioners in youth justice as well as those who are studying
the subject as part of their training or an academic course. Its
aim is to equip practitioners in youth justice and the wider
children s workforce with an understanding of key theoretical
concepts from a range of disciplines that might inform and enhance
their work. It encourages a critical interrogation of the ideas
that underpin practice by drawing on social constructionist
approaches to issues such as child development, crime and
punishment and related concepts. It provides a descriptive account
of current practice in
areas such as community corrections and incarceration, examining
the evidence base for this and suggesting where appropriate
alternative strategies.
The key objective of the Handbook is to provide students with the
confidence to critically reflect on the ideas and debates that
currently influence the work undertaken with young people as well
as those that may shape practice in the future. By equipping them
with the basic skills of analysis and an understanding of key
themes and developments, it aims to further promote their
progression as reflective practitioners and autonomous
learners.
The Youth Justice Handbook takes a multidisciplinary approach, and
contains chapters from leading experts in the field which draw on
original research and practical experience of working in the area.
It is divided into five parts:
Contexts of childhood and youth
Research, knowledge and evidence in youth justice
Policy, possibilities and penal realities in youth justice
Reflective practice
Widening contexts
