Breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage Understanding and Addressing Inequality in the Youth Criminal Justice System
Start a new DMP in Loading
Inequalities in youth criminal justice decisions are well-documented and disproportionally impact socially disadvantaged children. Children from ethnic minorities, children with disabilities and children from low socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to be qualified a suspect, prosecuted, detained and sentenced to prison. How are inequalities in youth criminal justice decisions produced? How do they move across different stages of the process? And how do they interact with inequalities in the educational system and child welfare system? This research seeks answers to these questions, which are much-needed to develop equal, fair and effective youth criminal justice practices in the Netherlands and elsewhere.
