The Social Impact of Custody on Young People in the Criminal Justice System “This is an important book that deserves a wide readership. While there is an emerging consensus among policy makers, academics and practitioners that children should only be imprisoned as a last resort, the evidence base in relation to the experiences of children deprived of their liberty remains underdeveloped. This work goes a considerable way to filling that gap by adopting a rigorous approach to measuring outcomes for children held in the secure estate. Drawing on extensive interviews with children and staff in a secure training centre, the authors make a compelling case for limiting the use of child incarceration to a minimum and for radical reform for provision of support to those children in secure settings.” —Dr Tim Bateman, Reader in Youth Justice, University of Bedfordshire, UK “In a wider societal system which in so many ways fails children and young people, the Youth Justice system is expected to rectify the mess. With the Taylor report criticising its focus on punitive and ineffective approaches, we have lacked the cohesive linking up of well-evidenced research to provide an alternative. Science shows us that ‘shame’ and ‘guilt’ approaches don’t work with victims of developmental and other trauma: yet they continue to form the foundation of the YJ approach. This volume draws together the lessons from the past, and a realistic view of the present, and the current and past research, in a coherent narrative that simply lets the evidence talk sense. I hope we can all read it and build on it.” —Jim Clifford OBE, Co-founder of IAAM, The Adoption Bond, UK
