A Return to Social JusticeA Better Structure

A Return to Social Justice: A Better Structure [This chapter sets out a proposed organisational structure for youth justice. Based upon John Rawls’ justice as fairness and applied principles of social justice that have been developed from this, the proposed structure takes a socially just approach to criminal justice work. Arguing that for any organisational structure to be effective, the underlying aims and principles need to be clear and specific, this chapter outlines how this could be applied within youth justice. Taking a needs-based focus, the proposed principles and aims prioritise supporting young people to desist from crime, recognising research in this field, and the context of criminal behaviour within young people. Applying the SST process outlined in Chap. 3, an idealised organisational structure for youth justice is presented. The proposed structure is transparent, has in-built accountability measures, and clarifies the roles and responsibilities at each level of the structure. The proposed structure is aimed to allow youth justice to allow young people to receive social justice, but also to operate in a way that is socially just to practitioners, professionals, and society.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter sets out a proposed organisational structure for youth justice. Based upon John Rawls’ justice as fairness and applied principles of social justice that have been developed from this, the proposed structure takes a socially just approach to criminal justice work. Arguing that for any organisational structure to be effective, the underlying aims and principles need to be clear and specific, this chapter outlines how this could be applied within youth justice. Taking a needs-based focus, the proposed principles and aims prioritise supporting young people to desist from crime, recognising research in this field, and the context of criminal behaviour within young people. Applying the SST process outlined in Chap. 3, an idealised organisational structure for youth justice is presented. The proposed structure is transparent, has in-built accountability measures, and clarifies the roles and responsibilities at each level of the structure. The proposed structure is aimed to allow youth justice to allow young people to receive social justice, but also to operate in a way that is socially just to practitioners, professionals, and society.]
