Comparative Youth Justice: Critical Issues

Comparative Youth Justice is the first book to critically reflect on contemporary juvenile justice reform in England and Wales and across various other western jurisdictions (the US, Canada, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Scotland, Japan, Italy and Finland). In doing so, it identifies major international differences in juvenile policy and practice. The book also examines how youth justice is implemented in practice with a view to promoting change as well as critical reflection.
