OverviewThis title was first published in 2002. Using a comparative and historical analysis of the relevant law and practice in England and Germany, this incisive volume examines the issue of whether there is still a need in modern society for an individual assessment of the criminal responsibility of children and young persons. After finding that the evidence suggests that there is a need, the author addresses the question of how these special rules could best be formulated and applied in practice. The book provides a thorough and comprehensive approach to this highly controversial issue, critically evaluating the recent abolition of the presumption of doli incapax in England and also providing valuable material on the German Law in this area.

Table of ContentsReviews'This book is a much needed in depth examination of the criminal responsibility of children and young persons and is an essential contribution to the on-going discussion in this area. It critically examines and contrasts the state of the law in England and Germany. With practical suggestions for reform this book will be most valuable reading for those concerned with the involvement of the young in criminal proceedings.' Prof. Dr. Jan C. Joerden, Europa-UniversitAt Viadrina, Frankfurt 'This book is exceptionally topical given the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child's recent observations regarding the age of criminal responsibility in the UK. It is, therefore, recommended reading for anyone working in the field of youth justice.' Child Right '...this book is both timely, and much to be welcomed, not least because of its rarity value.'
