Focusing on youth justice and offending, this book delves into the origins and current practices of risk-focused work with young people. It examines how risk concepts shape policy in England, Wales, and internationally, revealing the tensions between advocates of risk factor research and those critiquing its methods and ethics. Essential for understanding the role of risk factors in crime explanations and contemporary youth justice policies, it offers valuable insights into responses to youth offending behavior.
