Over the last decade, studies have highlighted that young people with disproportionately high and multiple needs have clustered in the juvenile justice system. These young people experience higher levels of diagnosable mental health problems and neurodisability than the general population. This chapter provides a developmental approach to understanding the needs of young people in contact with the criminal justice system. It reviews the prevalence of a range of mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders in young offenders and describes the key principles of assessment and intervention approaches. The policy and legal framework have been illustrated by reference to the system in England but will have relevance to readers from further afield.

Using 35 articles published in JASIST between 1985 and 2005, we present the first level of our analysis of the themes we found in respect to the representation of young people as subjects of information science research. It is our general finding that the developmental approach to childhood remains dominant.Utilisant 35 articles publiés dans JASIST de 1985 et 2005, nous présentons le premier niveau de notre analyse sur les thèmes que nous avons rencontrés concernant la représentation des jeunes en tant que sujets dans la recherche en sciences de l’information. Le principal résultat est que l’approche liée au développement de l’enfance continue de dominer.

This chapter draws together themes emerging from the preceding chapters, as well as identifying policy recommendations. It starts by highlighting the insights drawn from the cross-disciplinary approach adopted in the book. It then moves on to stress the social justice and human rights perspective, including the implications of how unaccompanied asylum-seeking children are framed by the authorities that are dealing with their cases. It discusses the need to acknowledge and support young people in exercising their agency, albeit within the confines of structural inequalities. The chapter then provides policy recommendations including the implementation of current laws and guidelines, and a review of age assessment processes. The chapter concludes with examples of new practices and new critical thinking that have emerged in the face of challenges associated with supporting unaccompanied young migrants in recent years.
