These are the central issues addressed by <em>Young Offenders and the Law</em> in its examination of the legal response to the phenomenon of youth offending and the contemporary forces that shape the law.</p><p>This book develops the reader’s understanding of the sociological criminological historical political and philosophical approaches to youth offending in England and Wales and also presents a comparative review of developments in other jurisdictions. It provides a comprehensive critical analysis of the legislative and policy framework currently governing the operation of the youth justice system in England and Wales and evaluates the response of the legal system in light of modern legislative framework and international best practice.
