Reviews
"This book provides an excellent overview for those students interested in this area. It could therefore prove a useful text across a number of disciplines, including social policy, psychology, social welfare, criminology or social work. It particularly attracts those students with a developed skill of critical analysis. I was particularly impressed by the way in which young people were firmly discussed within the realm of children's services, coupled with sociological and psychological discourses to 'unpick' the complexities of predicting offending behaviour and responding to it." Kay Wall in Social Policy & Social Work, 2009
"All those working in or interested in youth justice should ensure they read this book." Dr Steve Rogowski in Professional Social Work June 2009
"This well-written and well-researched volume provides a framework for youth justice practice that is currently lacking. The holistic approach advocated provides a refreshing perspective in the context of increasingly neo-correctionalist policy developments." Gill McIvor, Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research, University of Stirling
