From criminal justice to social justice: rethinking approaches to young adults subject to criminal justice control

T2A3 social justice cover Richard Garside (March 2010)

This briefing, the last in a series of three that form part of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies' contribution to the Transition to Adulthood Alliance, offers some proposals for what might be involved in a wholesale shift in governmental approaches to young adults subject to criminal justice control. It makes the case for interventions with young adults that place social justice, not criminal justice, at their heart.

This is the third of three briefings the Centre is publishing as part of its contribution to the Transition to Adulthood Alliance, supported by the Barrow Cadbury Trust
