Effective Practice in Youth Justice

Youth justice has become an increasingly important part of the criminal justice system, and has faced a wide range of challenges in the last few years. Practice within the youth justice system has been developed significantly, with important roles being played locally by Youth Offending Teams (Yots) and custodial establishments, and centrally by the Youth Justice Board (YJB). Key to the development of the workforce has been the YJB's Effective Practice Strategy, and the associated HR and Learning Strategy, which seeks to enable youth offending services and the individual practitioners within them to work in ways that are evidence-based and informed by the most reliable and up-to-date research. Effective Practice in Youth Justice is an essential resource for people working within the youth justice system, those training to work in youth justice, and students taking courses in youth justice as part of criminology or criminal justice degrees.Stephenson, Martin is the author of 'Effective Practice in Youth Justice ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781843922865 and ISBN 184392286X.
