Publisher: SAGE Publications in association with The National Association
for Youth Justice

Youth Justice engages with the analysis of juvenile/youth justice systems,
law, policy and practice and it comprises of articles that are theoretically
informed and/or grounded in the latest empirical research.

Youth Justice has established itself as the leading journal in the field in
the UK, with an ever-increasing international presence. Some of the most
prominent and authoritative researchers and policy analysts regularly
publish articles in the journal. In addition to retaining its pole position
in the UK the journal is committed to developing its international profile
in recognition of:

* Increasing interest in juvenile/youth justice within the national and
international academic, policy and professional practice communities;

* The developing importance of international legislation, standards,
treaties, conventions and rules;

* Emerging patterns of policy transfer across national borders and notable
convergences in international juvenile/youth justice systems, paradoxically
located alongside significant divergences within and between national
jurisdictions;

* An ever-increasing interest in the development of effective policy and
practice and drawing lessons from pioneering approaches to juvenile/youth
crime from around the world.

Youth Justice provides a major forum for discussion, dissemination and
analysis and it is essential for:

* Academic criminologists and social scientists, social researchers,
under-graduate and post-graduate students;

* Policy-makers and government departments;

* Juvenile justice/youth offending services, probation services and offender
rehabilitation agencies, penal reform and criminal justice organisations,
legal professionals, police services, prison services and secure facilities,
social work professionals, youth and community workers, education and health
professionals, drugs and substance misuse agencies;

* Children's charities and child welfare organisations and
national/international children's rights agencies.
