Reflections on international youth justice: a personal view

Rod Morgan is shocked by the imagery at a recent youth justice conference

 

Abstract

When it comes to youth justice, my emotions often run high, particularly when the impact on individuals is clear. I sometimes come home shaken from interviewing children in custody. Tears tend to well up when I'm watching a wonderful performance, dance or music for example, by kids who've been in trouble and whose faces also betray some of the wear and tear they've borne in their short lives. So, when attending the fourth International Juvenile Justice Observatory conference in Rome at the beginning of November 2010, I made sure that I went to two photographic film shows run during the lunch breaks.
