Focusing on the intersection of youth justice and offending, this book delves into the origins and current practices of risk-focused approaches for young people. It critically examines how risk concepts shape policy in England, Wales, and beyond, while addressing the debates between advocates of risk factor research and those who raise methodological and ethical concerns. Essential for understanding the dynamics of crime explanation and contemporary youth justice policies, it serves as a crucial resource for scholars and practitioners alike.
