A Return to Social JusticeSocial Justice in Practice

A Return to Social Justice: Social Justice in Practice [This chapter takes the structure discussed in Chap. 6, and considers what steps could be taken to develop the current structure and practice of youth justice. Clarifying the philosophical position from which youth justice operates is central to this, and so, this chapter argues for principled practice. Principled practice would allow for greater consistency across the system as a whole, and also improve monitoring and accountability, as there would be a clear standard against which to evaluate practice. Practical steps to achieve principled practice are outlined, to support practitioners and managers to develop a more socially just approach on a local level. This chapter also argues for more broad structural changes to youth justice, as given the issues within youth justice (as outlined in Chap. 3), change is necessary. Applying the proposed structure would require a complete reconfiguration of youth justice—from reviewing policy and the role of government, to recognising youth justice work as a profession. The variety of factors needed for change are considered in relation to both practicality and possibility.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter takes the structure discussed in Chap. 6, and considers what steps could be taken to develop the current structure and practice of youth justice. Clarifying the philosophical position from which youth justice operates is central to this, and so, this chapter argues for principled practice. Principled practice would allow for greater consistency across the system as a whole, and also improve monitoring and accountability, as there would be a clear standard against which to evaluate practice. Practical steps to achieve principled practice are outlined, to support practitioners and managers to develop a more socially just approach on a local level. This chapter also argues for more broad structural changes to youth justice, as given the issues within youth justice (as outlined in Chap. 3), change is necessary. Applying the proposed structure would require a complete reconfiguration of youth justice—from reviewing policy and the role of government, to recognising youth justice work as a profession. The variety of factors needed for change are considered in relation to both practicality and possibility.]
