This book delves into the development and implementation of Child First as an innovative guiding principle for enhancing youth justice systems. By drawing upon contemporary research insights into what fosters positive child outcomes and safer communities, Child First challenges traditional risk-oriented and stigmatizing approaches to working with troubled children. It has now been embraced as the four-point guiding principle for all policy and practice within the youth justice system in England and Wales, and it is gaining prominence as a key reform principle in youth justice in Northern Ireland. Furthermore, its influence is expanding across various Western jurisdictions. Contributions from academics, policymakers, and practitioners are featured in this book, providing a critical account of the progress and challenges in establishing a progressive, evidence-driven youth justice system. Its dynamic and accessible integration of theory, research, policy, and practice, coupled with discussions of critical themes, makes it an essential read for students enrolled in youth crime/justice modules and for a broader audience.
