Youth justice

ICPR’s youth justice research includes studies on the Youth Court and on public attitudes to youth crime, and work conducted as part of the International Self-Report Delinquency Study. We have undertaken qualitative and quantitative investigations of the needs of children and young people in custody, and reviewed provision within the secure estate.
