Details

Navigating the area of child criminal law can be difficult for practitioners and this title comprehensively deals with the legal issues applicable to child defendants. The main legislation covering children and the criminal justice system is the Children Act 2001. The Act deals with preventing criminal behaviour, diversion from the criminal justice system and rehabilitation.

For practitioners representing children prosecuted for criminal offences, this title is a necessity in your library with comprehensive covering of the 2001 Act, recent jurisprudence and frequently occurring legal issues such as delay, ageing out and other topics such as Section 75 jurisdictional hearings, anonymity among minors and the Juvenile Diversion Programme.
