NEW article: “Understanding the importance of therapeutic interventions to support families experiencing child-to-parent abuse: process evaluation insight from the parallel lives programme” www.emerald.com/insight/cont... By Dr Gemma Morgan and Dr Joe Janes. Available on EarlyCite. Safer Communities

If the UK is to come close to breaking the cycle of reoffending, it needs to meet the basic needs of young people in prison and respect the basic human right of adequate nutrition theconversation.com/crime-and-no...

The brains of young people are developing until about age 25, limiting their ability to make rational decisions and control impulses. Youth justice policies that ignore this risk failure.

The adage ‘actions speak louder than words’ is used in this special edition to emphasise the point that there needs to be much more of a focus on how children’s participation is translated into policy and practice. 2/2

The terms child first, child participation, children’s voice, and co-production are used interchangeably with little thought as to what they mean for youth justice practice ‘on the ground’. 1/2 mmuperu.co.uk/bjcj/editori...

Many thanks to the authors/speakers for delivering insightful and engaging presentations at our participatory youth justice event yesterday, hosted by the British Journal of Community Justice. Link here to access all the papers in the special issue: mmuperu.co.uk/bjcj/volumes...
