The first chapter places the book in its historical, theoretical and cultural setting, exploring the background against which juvenile justice reform occurred in Scotland and placing this in the wider context of exchange between reformers on the international front. The aim here is to explain the way in which children evolved as a distinctive group in terms of criminalisation, providing a fuller understanding of the legal processes of reform analysed in the book.

Young Offenders Act

The current study reviews the personal characteristics of 32 consecutive admissions to a secure custody centre in one southwest Ontario jurisdiction under the Young Offenders Act. Results indicated that there was considerable variability amongst the group regarding court history and the seriousness of the charge on which committal was made. Background history data suggested that the problems of youths committed to secure custody reflect considerable difficulties within families and school. The discussion questions whether the youths in this group are better served through the dispositions emphasizing custody-deterrence or rehabilitation-treatment. Implications for young offender policy are also presented.

This book provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights as it relates to children. Covering areas including juvenile justice, the immigration system, and education and religion, as well as family life, child protection, and adoption, it undertakes a comprehensive examination of the way in which the Court has approached the rights of children, both in relation to their parents and in relation to the state. In doing so, it tracks the evolution of the Court’s treatment of children’s rights, from its inauspicious and paternalistic beginnings to an emerging recognition of children’s individual agency.

Toward an Aesthetic of Tongzhi Camp

This chapter investigates the significance and articulation of tongzhi camp. It first unpacks the nebulous concept of “gay sensibility” by supplementing it with a structure of feeling mediated by gay shame and gay melancholy, alongside their particular ramifications in a Chinese cultural setting. It then examines how such a queer structure of feeling is potentially transformed into camp expressions in Corner’s (2001) and Splendid Float (2004), directed by lesbian-identifying filmmaker Zero Chou. This chapter finally analyzes the way camp is adapted by Tsai Ming-liang in The Hole (1998) into a powerful implement that negotiates heteronormativity by playing on the mechanism of the homosexual closet: homosexual presence thus becomes imbricated in the audio-visual expressions that characterize the film’s patent tongzhi camp style.

In any developed nation, the way law is implemented is a seen as a reflection of what the statute or article was intended for, since modern society is a complex blend of different societal layers, it is necessary to make distinctions based on certain criteria in order to satisfy the ulterior motive of law: to maintain peace and harmony in society. One such distinction is that between the law applicable to adults and that applicable to minors, or in legal terms, juveniles. Pakistan also shared its history of juvenile justice with India, up until its independence in 1947. Even then it took Pakistan fifty-three years to formulate a uniform piece of legislation for juveniles, and then another eighteen to update and revise it considerably. By virtue of the procedure of independence, Pakistan inherited a lot of laws that had been introduced by the British in the subcontinent during their rule. Several of these laws were oriented towards juveniles and the need for their separation from adult, either wholly or partially and some of them survive to this day as well.

In this paper, I discuss the ways in which Indigenous women are Othered by the proceedings of the Missing Women‘s Commission of Inquiry (MWCI). First, I give a basic overview of Beauvoir‘s theory of women as Others, followed by Memmi‘s analysis of the relationship between the colonized and the colonizer. I use these two theories to describe the way Indigenous women are Othered both as Indigenous peoples and as women, focusing on the context of the twenty-six who were murdered in Vancouver‘s Downtown Eastside (DTES). The original murders were the result of the cultural reduction of Indigenous Women to their bodies. The negligent police investigations, as well as the misogynistic attitudes of the police, also demonstrate how Othering can operate within these institutions. I claim that the violence against women in the DTES was due to their status as Other. Notably, the MWCI, which is supposed to be a process that addresses the Othering-based negligence of the police, also includes instances of Othering in its structure and practice. From this, I conclude that we cannot rely on Othering institutions or legal processes to correct Othering as a practice. In the context of the MWCI, I suggest building alliances that support those who face this Othering as violence in their everyday lives.

Is there a distinctive group-analytic approach to individual psychotherapy? In seeking an answer to this question, the social context of psychotherapy is examined and the need for a psychotherapy of connectedness proposed. The group frame that group analysts inherently adopt in their psychotherapeutic work is seen as a valid basis for such an enterprise. A recasting of the therapeutic relationship and the transference-countertransference configuration in individual psychotherapy in line with this aim is proposed, in a way that draws on contemporary relational theories, including self psychology and the intersubjective school. It is likely that much of this is implicit in the way group analysts work with individuals. The challenge is to develop this as an explicit medium of individual therapy.

This chapter discusses the way the juvenile court and its ancillary institutions—the Juvenile Detention Canter, Chicago Parental School, and Institute for Juvenile Research—handled black children’s cases. It also delineates the impact the disproportionate number of black children in juvenile court and an artificial inflation of the number of delinquent black children had on the evolution of juvenile justice law. The sympathetic public sentiment that made the Progressive juvenile justice movement viable had begun to wane by the 1930s. As a result, juvenile justice laws began to be more punitive, and the rehabilitative ideal began to be dismantled.
