Youth Justice in Jersey: Options for change

The Report is grounded in the wider research on youth justice and a review of the
services offered to young people who break the law in Jersey. Accordingly, two
questions are posed. Firstly, what does research tell us about the essential
principles that should underpin ethical and effective practice with young people?
Secondly, how can these general underpinning principles be applied and
strengthened in the specific context of Jersey? The main Report duly
summarises the salient messages arising from research in the relevant policy
domains and key stages of the criminal justice process before proceeding to the
consideration of specific options and recommendations in respect of Jersey.
