Beskrivning

Policy development and implementation has a pivotal role in the youth justice system, profoundly impacting professionals and the children they work with. This imaginative book challenges limited explanations of policy-making as linear and government-dominated through original research into the practices, identities and relationships of a wide range of stakeholders working in multiple policy- making contexts in England and Wales. The result is a detailed expert analysis of the contexts and mechanisms of youth justice policy-making. This book is key reading for researchers, professionals and students seeking effective understandings and responses to the long term social problem of youth offending.

“Recent youth justice policy has often appeared impenetrably illusive. As both participant and observer, insider and outsider, Stephen Case, alongside his many witnesses, has revealed the shape of the beast.” Rod Morgan, Professor Emeritus, University of Bristol and formerly Chairman, Youth Justice Board for England and Wales
