Watt, Emily A.
A history of youth justice in New Zealand Emily A. Watt - 2003 - electronic document (32 pagaes) ; PDF file
This research paper was commissioned by the Principal Youth Court Judge Andrew Becroft in January 2003, funded by a research grant by Department for Courts. Published in the Evidence library (part 7) of the Abuse in Care Inquiry.
This report explores the background to the youth justice provisions of the Children, Young Persons and their Families Act 1989, both internationally and domestically, with the hope that an understanding of the system’s evolution will render a better insight into the principles behind this innovative piece of legislation.
Part One will first outline the international trends in attitudes to youth justice, where shifting philosophies reflect the changing views of children as alternately in need of nurturing and strict control.
Part Two will then explore the New Zealand experience, which initially followed international trends but later introduced ground-breaking systems in response to the problem of youth offending. (From the author's introduction). Record #9136
