Youth, Crime, and Police Work
註釋Police cautioning is now the predominant means of dealing with young offenders outside the formal court system in England and Wales. How does it work? Does it work? What are the processes and dynamics of pre-court decision-making and multi-agency negotiations? This book discusses the theoretical concerns about "alternatives to court" schemes and examines the historical, political, legislative and ideological context of the development of police cautioning. By drawing together research findings concerning the policy and practical implementation of cautioning schemes, the book seeks to assess their current relevance and provide an insight into the limits and possibilities of cautioning as part of a progressive strategy to deal with the youth crime problem.
