Youth Justice in Aotearoa New Zealand: Law, Policy and CritiqueThis work covers both theory and practice and contains the first analysis, from a Māori perspective, of Aotearoa's Family Group Conference system. It includes analysis of unreported cases, and discussion of the system in its international and policy context. Key issues explored in depth include: youth in the system; is the FGC process really 'indigenous'?; mental health and the care and protection of crossover; youth justice roles; 'reasonable compliance' with the statute when police interview young people; offering youth court jurisdiction in serious cases; and Rangatahi Courts and the future of the system.--From back cover. |
