520 _aFoundations for Youth Justice examines contemporary youth justice policy and practice in the United Kingdom and advocates a more positive, rights-based approach to working with young people. Anne Robinson argues that youth justice should focus not only on controlling offending behavior but also on supporting young people's development, strengths, and social inclusion. The book explores the social, economic, and personal challenges faced by young people, including poverty, exclusion, education, mental health, substance use, and family difficulties. It examines how these factors influence youth offending and discusses appropriate responses from youth justice systems. A major theme is the importance of collaborative and restorative approaches that place young people at the center of decision-making. The author emphasizes prevention, safeguarding, multi-agency cooperation, and rehabilitation rather than punitive interventions alone.
