Youth Justice and Social Work Summary

Youth Justice and Social Work by Jane Pickford

It is vital for social work students and practitioners to understand the complexities of the youth justice system. This fully revised second edition analyses and puts into context several pieces of new legislation such as the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, the Youth Rehabilitation Order 2009 and the new Youth Conditional Caution. Carefully selected case studies and summaries of contemporary research help to underpin this accessible and essential resource. Ideal for students on placement, this new edition enables the reader to follow complex and often difficult legislation and law.

British Journal of Social Work

'The book was factual, clear and thought provoking - excellent for first and second year undergraduates' -
