Incarcerating Children: Understanding Youth Imprisonment

Tim Bateman

ISBN13: 9780415697163
Publisher: Routledge
Country of Publication: UK
Format: Hardback
Price: Publication Abandoned





Levels of youth custody in any period are not closely related to the nature and extent of youth crime, but appear instead to be determined, at least in part, by political, social and economic considerations. While David Garland's account of the development of a new culture of control provides a useful framework for discussing child imprisonment, Bateman argues that the empirical data does not, in any straightforward manner, support the idea of an inexorable rise in youth custody that might be anticipated as a consequence of that analysis.

This book investigates the systemic determinants of youth custodial sentencing in England and Wales and provides a full account of the patterns of youth imprisonment and offers a nuanced explanation of systemic features at different times and in different places.

Subjects:
Criminology
Contents:
1. Introduction
2. The rationale for, and consequences of, locking children up
3. The context for understanding patterns of custody: risk and exclusion
4. An emerging culture of control?
5. A history of confounded expectations: youth custody from 1970 to the present
6. Patterns of incarceration - the rise and fall of youth imprisonment: 1969 - 1991
7. Patterns of incarceration - the rise in youth imprisonment: 1992 -2005
8. New Labour: reform and legacy
9. 'Justice by geography': towards an understanding of local systemic factors
10. Practitioner culture and custody
11. Back to the future? The decline in child imprisonment in the late 2000s
12. Conclusion
