The contributors to this volume examine the range and nature of problem behaviours among children and young people and examine the changing nature of their offending, which is reflected in the ongoing examination of philosophies, practices and policies, and the tension between ''welfare'' and more traditional ''justice and punishment'' approaches. They emphasize the increasing obligation of recognizing the rights of young people who offend and trace the relationship between explanations of offending by this group and the implications these have for the development of relevant and effective crime strategies. They consider not only English, Scottish and Welsh systems, but also the international arena. With reviews of juvenile justice systems and measures for dealing with juvenile offenders being undertaken in most European countries, British developments are evaluated in the broader context of trends in offending children and young people.
Preventing youth crime in high crime areas - towards a strategy, Jon Bright; social crime prevention - juvenile delinquency, Francis Bailleau; children's hearings and children in trouble, Janice McGhee, Lorraine Waterhouse and Bill Whyte; the organization and functioning of juvenile justice in England and Wales, John Graham; children and violence - trauma in the American war zone, James Garabino and Kathleen Kostelny; female offenders in Scotland - implications for theory, Elaine Samuel and Kay Tisdall; the community-based alternative - intermediate treatment for young offenders, Alex Robertson and Derick McClintock; secure units, Paul Littlewood; restorative juvenile justice - a way to restore justice in Western systems, Lode Walgrave.
Anyone working in the field of youth justice will find [this] of interest. It is an accessible book, suitable to read either from cover to cover, or to dip into.
