| Summary |
A hundred years have passed since the inception of the first juvenile courts in the UK, yet the pace and reach of contemporary youth justice reform is unprecedented. Each of the youth justice jurisdictions in the UK - England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland - has been subject to substantial change and significant expansion in recent years. Youth justice is now conceived as an increasingly important area, not only within broader criminal justice and crime and disorder reduction discourses, but also within policy and practice debates with regard to child welfare, youth services, health, community development, urban regeneration, education and employment. |
|
This Dictionary explicitly addresses the historical, legal, theoretical, organisational, policy, practice, research and evidential contexts within which 'modern' youth justice in the UK and beyond is located. The entries cover a spectrum of theoretical orientations and conceptual perspectives and engage explicitly with the key statutory provisions and policy and practice imperatives within each of the three UK jurisdictions. |
