Youth Justice is an international peer-reviewed journal that engages with the analysis of juvenile/youth justice systems, law, policy and practice and comprises of articles that are theoretically informed and/or grounded in the latest empirical research.

"Youth Justice is a real triumph as a journal - policy relevant, theoretically rich, critical and international in scope. It is a highly welcome voice in youth justice debates previously dominated by administrative perspectives." Shadd Maruna, Queens University Belfast, UK

"In little over a decade, Youth Justice has established itself as an indispensable forum for cutting-edge discussion of issues of youth justice around the world. It is a truly international resource, and one that no serious scholar or practitioner should do without." Elliot Currie, University of California, Irvine, USA

"As fields of Criminology become increasingly diverse and specialised, both substantively and methodologically, it is important to keep on top of the latest scholarly work. Youth Justice is a leader in its field in terms of providing high quality articles that engage with the latest theoretical ideas and provide robust empirical evidence on a range of topics relating to youth offending and juvenile justice. With a focus on both global and local issues, it deserves to be a key reference point for academics and students alike." Susan McVie, University of Edinburgh, UK

"Through its commitment to the publication of theoretically and methodologically robust articles critically addressing laws, policies and practices affecting children and young people, Youth Justice makes an important and unique contribution. The scholarly contributions provide us with a grounded and progressive perspective on youth justice, helping us to understand contemporary youth justice realities, and conceive of possible futures." Michele Burman, University of Glasgow, UK

"Youth Justice is a world leading journal, its content is cutting-edge and charts new horizons in global youth justice policy and practice." Reece Waters, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
