Transforming Youth Justice - Occupational Identity and Cultural Change

Informationen zum Autor Anna Souhami is Lecturer in Criminology at the School of Law, Edinburgh University. Zusammenfassung Inter-agency Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) were the cornerstone of New Labour's approach to the delivery of youth justice services.
