This book critiques the approach to justice-involved children in England and Wales, focusing on desistance thinking and practical approaches to support children to move away from offending. It offers new insights and proposes reforms to improve children's lives.

Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Bristol University Press


Desistance, which involves understanding how individuals move away from offending behavior, has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the youth justice system in England and Wales. This book is the first to critically examine this approach, which involves applying desistance thinking to justice-involved children, many of whom are still in the process of developing their identities, including their criminal identities. Drawing on insights from academia, policy, and practice, this book explores practical strategies for desistance with children in the "Child First" context. It offers new perspectives on how children can be supported to leave behind offending behavior and proposes reforms that can make a meaningful difference in their lives.
