Kinder Justice
This article examines the impact and significance to child defendants in England and Wales of sentence communication. Drawing on a qualitative study with justice-experienced children, I suggest that how sentences are delivered matters deeply to children's perceptions of legitimacy in three ways that coalesce around the concept I call ‘kinder justice’. First, legitimacy is enhanced by approaches that communicate care (invoking kinder as a verb); s…
Reinterpreting “genetic identity” in the regulatory and ethical context of heritable genome editing
Heritable genome editing (HGE) is prohibited by several international conventions for a number of reasons, including the protection of “genetic identity.” This article provides a conceptual analysis of the concept of “genetic identity” and offers normative reflections as to how it should be interpreted in the context of HGE. In particular, this article examines the purported right to retain “genetic identity” and the right-to-know “genetic identi…
This case is about you and your future”
A handful of ‘child‐friendly’ judgments have emerged in the UK in recent years, attempting to adopt a child‐centred approach to the decision‐making stage of the legal process. Most notable is Sir Peter Jackson's judgment in Re A: Letter to a Young Person which, in taking the form of a letter to the child, has been applauded as a model of how to achieve ‘child friendly justice’. This article examines how and why the form and presentation of judici…
Rewriting Children’s Rights Judgments
This important edited collection is the culmination of research undertaken by the Children’s Rights Judgments Project. This initiative involved academic experts revisiting existing case law, drawn from a range of legal sub-disciplines and jurisdictions, and redrafting the judgment from a children’s rights perspective. The rewritten judgments shed light on the conceptual and practical challenges of securing children’s rights within judicial decisi…
Theorising Children's Rights in Youth Justice
This paper develops a theoretical approach to children's rights in youth justice, located within a wider rights‐based theory of criminal justice which emphasises the centrality of citizens' autonomy. Understanding what is special about children's rights in the youth justice system requires an understanding of how children's autonomy differs from that of adults. One difference is that within the legal system children are not considered to be fully…
Youth justice reform in the ‘big society’
This article examines some of the recent changes to youth justice, focusing in particular on the impact of the government's social justice and public sector reform programme upon those developments. The analysis is conducted within a children's rights framework; one which considers how well the reforms protect the criminal justice rights of the child (as articulated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) and whether they pro…
