Description

Juvenile justice remains a central concern in Australian society in the 1990s. For many years it has attracted substantial public and government attention, and as a result there have been considerable changes to legislation, court procedures, policing and welfare intervention, often without the support of the systemic research. Juvenile justice is the most up-to-date book available on this topic and its distinguished contributors provide a balanced and authoritative analysis of juvenile justice in this country. Written from the different perspectives of academics, lawyers, police, magistrates and social workers, this collection attempts to address the problems of dealing with young offenders in a just and humane manner, and suggests approaches that will hopefully lead to more effective rehabilitation.
