Persistent Young Offenders

An Evaluation of Two Projects

Beschreibung

Based on some of the most interesting research from the last ten years, this book discusses effective practice in work with persistent young offenders. It contrasts two major evaluations of projects for juvenile offenders, one of which was successful and the other less so. This detailed and thorough study will be of particular value to those interested in less punitive approaches.
