Young People

Internationally, there is often a distinction between jurisdictions in relation to the age break down between children, young people and adults in criminal justice terms.

The Centre draws a distinction in its work between youth and adult justice and this category seeks to recognise the distinction in the literature between children who may fall within the Children's Hearing System and young people who may fall within the definition of 'young offender'.

In this section you can find general information relating to working with children and young people by following the links to the left of this page. If you would like further information, or would like to suggest a topic that could be added, please contact the site administrator.
