The state locks up children aged 10 to 17 every day, making this a serious issue for a number of professional disciplines. A well-researched reference set in an international context, Young People and Custody begins by looking who is in custody and why, the history of custodial practice, and current policy. The authors then examine issues of what works and what doesn't, the management of institutions, and young people's needs and perspectives. Finally, they explore the consequences and longer term issues for young people and possible policy development.
