Mapping review of interventions to reduce the use of restrictive practices in children and young people's institutional settings
Restrictive practices are often used harmfully with children in institutional settings. Interventions to reduce their use do not appear to have been mapped systematically. Using environmental scanning, we conducted a broad‐scope mapping review of English language academic databases, websites and social media, using systematic methods. Included records ( N = 121) were mostly from the United States and contained details of 82 different intervention…
Youth Justice and Penality in Comparative Context
This book represents the first major analysis of Anglo-Australian youth justice and penality to be published and it makes significant theoretical and empirical contributions to the wider field of comparative criminology. By exploring trends in law, policy and practice over a forty-year period, the book critically surveys the ‘moving images’ of youth justice regimes and penal cultures, the principal drivers of reform, the core outcomes of such pro…

Human rights and youth justice reform in England and Wales
This article examines critically the persistently antagonistic relationship – across the past quarter-century – between the provisions of international human rights instruments and the nature and direction of youth justice reform in England and Wales. It introduces the core provisions of the human rights framework that pertain to youth justice and it sketches the nature and direction of policy reform over the 25-year period under scrutiny (1991–2…
Cruel and unusual punishment’
Although several criminologists and social scientists have drawn attention to the high rates of mental and cognitive disability amongst populations of young people embroiled in youth justice systems, less attention has been paid to the ways in which young people with disability are disproportionately exposed to processes of criminalisation and how the same processes serve to further disable them. In this paper, we aim to make a contribution towar…

Juvenile Justice, Young People and Human Rights in Australia
This article identifies the key human rights issues that emerge for young people in juvenile justice in Australia. While there is a clear framework for respecting the human rights of children within juvenile justice, the article poses the question: To what extent does Australia actually operationalise and comply with these rights in law, policy and practice? In answering, it discusses various national and international reports, legislation, acade…

Dictionary of Youth Justice
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. This book is a key re…
International human rights standards and child imprisonment
This article explores critically the relationship between international human rights standards and the practices of child imprisonment at a global level. Four key issues are afforded close attention: the separation of child and adult prisoners; the provision of ‘child appropriate regimes’; the protection of child prisoners’ rights and the operation of independent complaints and inspection mechanisms. We argue that there is manifest tension betwee…

The Independent Commission on Youth Crime and Antisocial Behaviour
Purpose In 2010, “The Independent Commission on Youth Crime and Antisocial Behaviour” published a major report. This paper critically assesses the report by placing it within a context of juvenile/youth justice policy reform extending over the last 50 years. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based upon national and international policy analysis and comparative research. Findings In recent years the persistent politicisation of youth crime …
The sleep of (criminological) reason
For over a decade, three successive New Labour administrations have subjected the English youth justice system to a seemingly endless sequence of reforms. At the root of such activity lies a core tension between measured reason and punitive emotion; between an expressed commitment to ‘evidence-based policy’ and a populist rhetoric of ‘tough’ correctionalism. By engaging a detailed analytical assessment of New Labour’s youth justice programme, thi…
Sociological criminology and youth justice
This article is presented in two interconnected parts. It addresses issues that have arguably received insufficient attention in most sociologically oriented criminological research and commentary on youth justice and related policy and practice developments, both within the UK jurisdictions and in wider international contexts. First, it highlights the need to recognize the complexities of comparative policy analysis at international, national, r…

Dictionary of Youth Justice
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
Damage, Harm and Death in Child Prisons in England and Wales
The United Nations is currently undertaking a major international study of violence against children. This article is framed within the conceptual context of the UN study; it explores the violence intrinsic to key aspects of youth justice policy and practice in England and Wales and, more particularly, the damage, harm and death of child prisoners. The article advances an argument that the treatment and conditions endured by child prisoners withi…

New Labour, Social Justice and Children
Within a context of national prosperity and relative economic strength, poverty and inequality is rife in the UK. This paper considers the broad contours of such social injustice, before sharpening the focus to examine the specificities of child poverty. The New Labour government has made an ‘historic pledge’ to end child poverty within a generation. The paper traces the key policy initiatives that are being directed to this end and, by drawing o…

Children, Crime, Policy and Practice
Children, Crime, Policy and Practice
In February 1993 when the Prime Minister proclaimed that ‘society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less’, and the Home Secretary referred to ‘really persistent nasty little juveniles’ ( Daily Mail , 22 February 1993), they set the tone for subsequent policy and practice in relation to children in trouble. It is a policy and practice which in ‘condemning more’ and ‘understanding less’ rides roughshod over the welfare needs of…
