Children and young people

Abstract

Some time ago Elizabeth Butler-Sloss remarked that ‘the child should be seen as a person, not as an object of concern’. At the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies we echo that sentiment, and are therefore pleased to have invited Sir Al Aynsley-Green, the Children's Commissioner of England, and his colleagues at 11 MILLION to edit the themed section of this issue. Together, we have attempted to ensure that the voices of children and people are at the centre of the themed section and can be heard loud and clear in its pages. 11 MILLION firmly believe that children and young people should be given opportunities to clearly express a view about crime, harm and the society that they live in.
