'The book was factual, clear and thought provoking - excellent for first and second year undergraduates' -
This text has proved useful across criminology module's in addition to Early years. Thorough and well written, it has proved to be a helpful resource
Light touches on too many issues. Not written in a clear accessible way.
Useful introduction.
A must for any social worker entering into the field of youth justice. A very comprehensive, thorough and engaging text which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Thank you!
This book gives a very good overview of theory and practice relating to SW in YOTs and those working alongside YOTs. This is the book I recommend students read before commencing the module. It prepares them for a grounding in YOT practice issues, highlights policy and outlines the legislative framework and aspects of youthjustice development.
This book will be useful reading for students of all levels preparing for a career in youth justice and social work.
A good solid and well written addition to books on this subject area.Well constructed with relevant and interesting case studies that students can and will be encouraged to use. We hve many assignments and assessments that wouldbenefit from this work
Really useful book for students that are focusing their written work around Youth Justice or whom are placed in the Youth Justice service. Easy to read and navigate.
Good tool for any students considering specialising in youth justice or working with young people.
This book clearly explains issues that may arise in this specialist and complex area of work and would be a useful guide for students on placement and newly qualified social workers.
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.
