Youth
Justice
is a comprehensive and
practical
guide to the
police and
criminal justice system in
NSW for children and young
people in contact with the
system and anyone supporting them — lawyers, social
workers, youth workers,
advocates, teachers,
counsellors, parents or
friends.
Clear and jargon-free, Youth
Justice explains the rights of
children and young people; what
they can expect from the police,
their lawyer, the courts and other
aspects of the criminal justice
system.
If you work with children and
young people, you will find
essential advice on how to
support young people through
police interviews, youth justice
conferences, lawyer interviews
and court.
This third edition has been
thoroughly updated and greatly
expanded.
