`An excellent reader. It contains all the basic ingredients of a superb teaching book with the qualities of a thought-provoking text.... Should be required reading for all students of criminal justice policy and it will be a valuable teaching resource for all those involved in the delivery of courses on young people, justice and punishment' - Punishment and Society
`This is a valuable student text; carefully collated and with an abuntant array of material... and will surely become a widely used course reader. For the practitioner and general reader it is a book to dip into, a means to access debates and remind oneself of the ebb and flow of policy' - Youth Justice
Youth Justice brings together for the first time the most influential international contributors to the emergent field of youth justice studies.
Youth Justice provides:
· a critical introduction to the intellectual reframing of the history, theory, policy and practice of youth justice.
· an essential resource of key debates and controversies from across the range of disciplines engaged in the study of youth in the social sciences
· editorial essays at the beginning of each substantive section of the
volume
· specially commissioned chapters at the end of each section, which place the readings in their theoretical and historical context.
