About this book
Deuchar and Bhopal present a range of creative and engaging case studies that illustrate where barriers have been broken down between young people and the agents of social control and elucidate upon how a sense of justice and inclusion has emerged. With its wide-ranging, multi-perspective approach, this study will be essential reading for scholars and students of sociology, criminology and youth studies, as well as holding appeal for policy-makers and practitioners.
Reviews
“In this important new work, Deuchar and Bhopal seek to reverse the cycle of moral panic and reactionary policymaking. They give authentic voice to marginalised young people’s concerns and fears regarding stigmatisation across a series of key life domains including schools and employment, but primarily the systems of criminal justice and crime control that are so closely associated with them.” (Shadd Maruna, University of Manchester, UK)
