Youth Justice and Social Work

A very good starting point for students learning about the youth justice system
A must for students wishing to specialise in this specific area of practice. This text offers students a wide range of essential information concerning not only working in the Youth Justice System but also presents differing perspectives of young people - essential knowledge for final placement students!
We currently have students undertaking their final placement with local Youth Justice Teams and I have recommended this book as a 'must read'!
An excellent text to support students and practitioners working in the youth justice field, or those working in other children and family settings wishing to keep up to date.
Good, practical introduction to working in youth justice.
[PS course is not a social work degree - it's a criminology degree and this is for my 'offender interventions' unit]
An excellent updated book which covers important areas of Youth Justice study for students
I have used this book and the information in it with Youth Work students to give them some background on the Youth Justice System. An easy to read intorductory text.
