Testo aggiuntivo

"Goddard and Myers are two of the most original academic activists working in the fields of youth and community. In this long-awaited book they examine the potential, the challenges and the enemies of alternative youth justice interventions aimed at raising individual and community consciousness of the relationships between poverty, racism and neoliberal carceralism. Like the US programmes Goddard and Myers describe, their acute analyses are revolutionary, timely and inspirational contributions to struggles for social and criminal justice."
- Professor Pat Carlen, Open University, UK
