TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The future of youth justice JO - Youth justice A1 - Haines, Kevin A1 - Case, Stephen SP - 131 EP - 148 VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - What is the future for juvenile justice in England and Wales? In a current climate of divergence, normlessness and local variations, we explore reform recommendations and the impact of economic austerity on local Youth Offending Teams: a retraction of support/services, yet increasing oversight by non-specialist managers. Four emerging youth justice delivery structures are identified, followed by an assessment of what does not work in practice - punishment, system contact, treatment and offender-focused interventions. We conclude that 'what might work' to progress youth justice is expert analysis, specialist youth workers and Children First principles in a coherent, flexible national policy context.
