Policy development and implementation has a pivotal role in the youth justice system, profoundly impacting professionals and the children they work with. This imaginative book challenges limited explanations of policy-making as linear and government-dominated through original research into the practices, identities, and relationships of a wide range of stakeholders working in multiple policy-making contexts in England and Wales.

The result is a detailed expert analysis of the contexts and mechanisms of youth justice policy-making. Youth Justice is key reading for researchers, professionals, and students seeking effective understandings and responses to the long-term social problem of youth offending.
