Tackling juvenile offending has become a key part of crime reduction strategies. The articles selected for this volume examine juvenile offending from various critical perspectives and represent the work of the most influential international figures in the field. The issues addressed include: the different needs and perspectives of youth offenders; whether offenders should be treated differently from others because of their age; recommendations of policy changes; identification of risk factors; issues surrounding the sentencing of juvenile offenders; and the relevance of restorative justice.
’The book, and indeed the series, aims to be a thematic easy reference guide of the most influential essays for use by the general public, students, practitioners and academics. The essays selected are incredibly interesting and relevant, as well as providing a well-rounded view of approaches to addressing juvenile offending. I believe that it does achieve its aims and would recommend it as a valuable read to anyone studying, working or simply interested in juvenile offending.’ Prison Service Journal
