Reviews

Steve Case's Youth Justice - A Critical Introduction provides an essential introduction to youth justice in England and Wales, indeed I'd say is the essential introductory text, and as such fills a gap last occupied when Donald West first published his seminal 'The Young Offender' in 1967. Stimulating, balanced, but with a committed and challenging edge to it, no student, youth justice practitioner, or policy maker should allow themselves to be far away from a copy. Professor John Drew, Professor at University of Bedfordshire and Former Chief Executive of the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (2009-2013).
