- The youth crime ‘problem’ is examined as a social construction and moral panic created by institutions in Western societies. The talk traces the evolution of youth crime into a phenomenon persistently misrepresented as an escalating social epidemic. The developmental life stages of ‘childhood’ and ‘adolescence’ as inventions are explored, highlighting differences between young people and adults. In this way, ‘youth crime’ can be identified as a social problem requiring distinct responses. A running theme is the child as a source of adult anxiety and fear, motivating societies to create structures, processes, theories and images of youth crime that punish law breakers. The ‘solution’ is the ‘positive youth justice’ model. Children should not be punished as if they are adults but their criminal behaviour should be seen as a normal part of growing up. Instead, they should be worked with to meet their needs, to embrace their human rights and to promote their life chances.
Steve Case is a criminologist focused on improving the treatment of children and young people who commit crime. He has been a lecturer, researcher and writer in the field of youth justice for 15 years, working mainly at Swansea University and now as a Professor of Criminology at Loughborough University. Steve has conducted research for the government agencies and large-scaled funding bodies and has written two books, several book chapters and over 50 research articles that critique the negative focus of much contemporary youth justice practice and that offer an alternative model 'positive' approach known as 'Children First, Offenders Second'.

fantastic video and really helpful, thank you
The deviance application spiral...the creation of moral panic...(Stan Cohen 1972, p.9)
OK now this is epic
I think academics will know that what he is saying is probably true, however, since it is for the general public, I think he makes too many bold claims without really explaining the reasons behind it and showing data to back it up. If a person with no prior knowledge of juvenile delinquency heard this, I dont think this talk would be very convincing to him/her.
I’m doing my thesis on juvenile delinquency! Do you have any good research papers I can read through? I’d really appreciate your help :)
Read his book and it goes into it in 300 pages, he can't just fit everything on here
And I ended up with 4 level 1 felony’s at age 16.18 for losing my virginity with a girl who snuck into my house I’m now 18 and still in court facing half the life I’ve already lived while the girl gets nothing I’ve learned my lesson before the law stuck their nose in it! If I was .18 years younger I’d be free
wow this is quite the video
As someone who has worked in youth justice for 23 years I found this absolutely fascinating and incredibly enlightening. Nearly everything this speaker said could be recognised as wrong by anyone who has ever met or associated with our most recalcitrant youth offenders. If you’ve clicked on this video wishing to get higher grades in your academic pursuit of criminology or sociology then you’ve struck the ‘mother-load’. If you actually want to understand how the issues can be addressed ignore all of the ‘cobblers’ this twerp has just spouted. His ilk have been in the drivers seat for decades now and the problems only got worse - but according to his cadre if you listen to them ‘just once more’ in defiance of everything you know and observe then utopia is around the corner. Remember this is all drivel. Read A Land Fit For Criminals by David Taylor - and be assured that the speaker in this video is the problem not the solution. Social sciences aren’t like Physics - there are to many moving parts for his theories to ever be testable - hence he can spuff out this content unchallenged academically. The emperor has got no clothes on - everything he’s said is tripe. Have a lovely rest of your day.
👏 I work in the juvenile justice system and he’s right about focusing on creating a better society for ALL. The unfortunate truth is these advocates don’t take into account the trauma and suffering of victims. We’ve forgotten about getting justice for the victims. A “child” can kill 10 people in a rage of violence in California and by law, shall be released by the age of 25 AT WORST! Everything looks good from the ivory tower when scholars speak on issues they aren’t keenly aware of. Why didn’t he mention the violent crime rate amongst youth being on the rise? Or courts dropping assault with deadly weapon chargers to misdemeanor battery for “children”. The pendulum has swung too far and now created an environment where gangs prey on these same “children” and have them commit serious crimes due to decriminalization of juvenile crime
@@408Machine You could just be honest and say you work in juvenile law enforcement/corrections because people working on the legal/justice side (unless they're the cretins who try to prosecute all kids as adults) do not fearmonger decriminalization of juvenile delinquency, nor do they blatantly lie about crime stats the way you do. People who blatantly lie about crime stats in the justice system are those who inflate them to support a law and order agenda.
It is interesting you say this. I have read some of his research, and I can assure you that policy makers have NOT been listening to people like him. The suggestions he, and many other criminologists make, are routinely ignored in favour for a harsher and more punitive methods.
Hello. I have looked up that book on Amazon but can’t find it. I’m a rookie corrections officer and I would greatly cherish and appreciate any advice you can give me.
For clarification I think you are referring to David Fraser not David Taylor. For those looking for the book you are referring to.
Ahoy!
Hi
agree
TLDR: The government shouldn't raise our kids we should raise our kids.
