Roger Smith

Doing Justice to Young People (eBook, ePUB)

Youth Crime and Social Justice

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There is an apparent impasse in current thinking about youth crime and justice which is represented by punitive and harmful practices on one hand, and critical objections to these processes on the other. This book, whilst clearly located within the critical perspective, attempts to move beyond this blockage, and to arrive at an alternative strategy for resolving the tensions between young people, especially those on and beyond the margins, and the social world which frames their lives.
