Youth and the Law provides a clear, practice-oriented overview of modern youth justice and child protection. It surveys current theories and models that inform how systems identify, respond to, and support young people in conflict with the law.

The text reviews common offences, discusses risk and protective factors, and maps the full legal pathway — from police procedures and court processes through sentencing and rehabilitative options. Emphasis is placed on evidence-informed interventions and inter-agency collaboration.

Useful for law and social work students, policy makers and practitioners, the book links academic frameworks to practical decision points encountered by professionals working with youth.

• Contemporary theories and models of youth justice
• Walkthrough of police, trial and sentencing stages
• Focus on risk assessment and rehabilitation
• Intended for students, practitioners and policymakers
