Course Description:
This course explores the historical, sociological and criminological context of youth offending and youth justice. Students will become familiar with age-related crime and anti-social behavioural patterns, as well as current theoretical and empirical debates about how these patterns can be explained. In light of our understanding about youth and crime, students will be encouraged to critically examine how we respond to young people's antisocial behaviour and offending, with particular attention to youth justice. Through this, young peoples' experiences with the branches of the youth criminal justice system are explored. Consideration is given to the legislation governing approaches to young people and crime.
