Desistance and Children
Available open access digitally under CC BY-NC-ND licence. ‘Desistance’ - understanding how people move away from offending – has become a significant policy focus in recent years, with desistance thinking transplanted from the adult to the youth justice system in England and Wales.

The punitive transition in youth justice
The transition from ‘child’ to ‘offender’ status can be fast‐tracked when offending is formally recognised through formal disposal, with children treated increasing punitively as they progress through the Youth Justice System.

We support this perspecti…

Punishing Poverty
The ‘scaled approach’, which provides the framework for determining levels of intervention for children in conflict with the law in England and Wales, might be seen as a logical culmination of the penetration of youth justice by a risk-averse policy and practice. This article questions the extent to which the model is compliant with children's human rights and argues that constructing intervention through the lens of risk is likely to be incompat…
