Towards a global ‘child friendly’ juvenile justice
Illusions Of Difference
Surprisingly, there has been little or no systematic research to date that has explored the significance \nof UK devolution for youth justice policy and practice. This article explores the extent of differential \njustice in the United Kingdom, particularly as it is expressed in the myriad action plans, criminal justice reviews, frameworks for action, delivery plans and offending strategies that have surfaced since 1998. In particular, the articl…
Labelling, Social Reaction and Social Constructionism
Reluctant Gangsters
The conventional wisdom is that the ‘violent youth gang’ is more of an American than a British phenomenon. In addition, gang research appears perennially hampered by continually disputed definitions of what exactly constitutes a ‘gang’. Despite this, the search for gang formations in the United Kingdom appears unrelenting, in part driven in this case by an apparent upsurge in teenage homicides in 2007 and 2008. Most pre-existing research has, how…
The `Punitive Turn' in Juvenile Justice
Separate systems of justice for children and young people have always been beset by issues of contradiction and compromise. There is compelling evidence that such ambiguity is currently being `resolved' by a greater governmental resort to neo-conservative punitive and correctional interventions and a neo-liberal responsibilizing mentality in which the protection historically afforded to children is rapidly dissolving. This resurgent authoritarian…
Transforming Youth Justice
Cullompton : Willan ( 2007 ) 221pp. £40.00hb ISBN 978-1-84392-193-6 A core element of New Labour's vision for a reformed youth justice in 1998 was the creation of youth offending teams (YOTs) designed to ‘join up’ responses to young offending through collaboration between social workers, probation officers, police officers, and education and health authorities. These came to replace the, then, existing youth justice teams and were justified in th…
Youth Crime and Justice
For the first time, leading national and international scholars have been brought together to engage explicity with a comprehensive critical assessment of the relation between 'evidence' and contemporary youth justice policy formation. This book, along with its companion volume Comparative Youth Justice (edited by John Muncie and Barry Goldson), will significantly advance the development of an emerging 'youth criminology'
Comparative Youth Justice
Reflecting on contemporary juvenile justice reform in England and Wales, this text also considers the issue within the context of other Western jurisdictions, identifying major international differences in juvenile policy and practice
Repenalisation and Rights
Studies of international youth justice, punishment and control are in their infancy but the issues of globalisation, transnationalisation, policy transfer and localisation are gradually being addressed. There also appears a growing demand in policy and pressure group circles in the UK to learn more about other jurisdictions in order to emulate ‘best practice’ and avoid the worst excesses of punitive populism. However, existing comparative work in…
Governing young people
This article explores the burgeoning literature on modes and layers of governance and applies it to the complex of contemporary youth justice reform. Globalized neo-liberal processes of responsibilization and risk management coupled with traditional neo-conservative authoritarian strategies have dominated the political landscape. However, they also have to work alongside or within ‘new’ conceptions of social inclusion, partnership, restoration an…
Youth and crime. 2nd edition
How and why have certain aspects of young people's behaviour come to be perceived as `anti-social' and 'criminal'? \n· Are young people now more of a threat than ever before? \n· How can we make sense of New Labour's youth justice reforms? \n· Is the youth justice system soft on crime? \n· Are young people more in need of protection than disciplinary punishment? \nThe Second Edition of this best-selling text provides a fully revised and up-to-dat…
The globalization of crime control—the case of youth and juvenile justice
The concept of globalization has gradually permeated criminology, but more so as applied to transnational organized crime, international terrorism and policing than in addressing processes of criminal justice reform. Based on a wide range of bibliographic and web resources, this article assesses the extent to which a combination of neo-liberal assaults on the social logics of the welfare state and public provision, widespread experimentation with…
Normalized dislocation and new subjectivities in post-16 markets for education and work
This article argues that the prevailing discourses of transitions and of social exclusion are no longer adequate to describe or explain the experiences of a substantial minority of young people. Reporting on a study of 800 16–19-year-olds, it is argued that an extensively diversified market in post-16 options produces instability and dislocation. Some young people are able to normalize these experiences of serial short-life engagements with cours…
Institutionalized intolerance
After a year of frenetic activity New Labour's Crime and Disorder Act slipped quietly into the statute book on the last day before parliament's summer recess in 1998. Heralded as a radical shake up of criminal justice and youth justice, the major provisions of the Act are examined in this article and its likely impact on the treatment of young people is critically assessed. It does so by tracing how far the rhetoric of crime prevention represents…
