• W2181946154 abstract "RESIDENTIAL CHILDREN'S HOMES AND THE YOUTH JUSTICE SYSTEM. IDENTITY, POWER AND PERCEPTIONS Julie Shaw (2014) Palgrave Macmillan. pp 208. (pbk) 58.00 [pounds sterling]. ISBN 978-1-137-31960-9 Julie Shaw's Residential Children's Homes and the Youth Justice System is a much needed addition to the area of criminology and youth justice. As is apparent from the title, the book focuses on children care: their experiences of care homes, interactions with the criminal justice system, and personal reflections on self and identity. The relatively limited criminological research this area is surprising, especially when one considers that 24% of English prisoners have been care at least once during their childhoods (Ministry of Justice, 2012). Shaw's account, then, is a welcome addition to the field, providing an academically rigorous analysis of the subject matter. The book is divided into three principal sections: 'Part I: Setting the Scene', 'Part II: Research Findings' and 'Part III: Conclusions'. Each of these is subdivided into further subsections. In Part I, Shaw begins by presenting a summarized account of the historical experiences of socially deprived children England. This includes detailing governmental responses to provide support to such children. She goes onto outline more recent developments around the rights of the child, including specific statutory instruments and the UN's efforts to place 'the child' at the centre of such legislation. Like the preceding historical narrative, these sections of the chapter are easy to digest, focus on the appropriate issues, and contain enough detail to be informative, but not so much as to bewilder the reader. Shaw then moves onto a critique of more recent governments' efforts on children's rights. This portion of the chapter seems less balanced, with the author criticizing the efforts of several governments without much evidence. For example, on p. 32 she accuses the Coalition government of presiding over a period of economic slowdown [and] social disturbance ... which has impacted negatively upon the lives of many children, yet on the next page states that in June 2013, the government announced an additional 200 million [pounds sterling] would be invested the [troubled families] scheme. This is not the only example of political criticisms that are unsupported by the evidence, something which seems out of place an otherwise meticulously researched book. An example of this detailed research is at the conclusion of Part I, where Shaw pithily outlines the theoretical perspectives which underpin the book, and describes detail the methodology employed throughout the study. The time taken by the author to describe her methodological approach--including justifications for using this approach and details of her sample--will prove useful to any academic or student who wishes to engage with the text. Part II presents the findings of this study, and whilst it is clear that the results are not really intended for a lay audience, there are substantial research findings which students, practitioners and policy makers will find useful. The section is divided into several thematic areas, and the 'voices' of participants are clear throughout this part of the book. Moreover, the results are well analysed, giving appropriate emphasis to the perspectives of children care as well as a reasoned analysis of the issues raised. Shaw is careful to not just include the responses of children care, but also of social workers, residential care workers and other practitioners. …" @default.
