Youth violence dominates headlines and politicians' attention and many organisations invest considerable resources in an attempt to reduce it. This book examines how inequality and social harms drive such violence and highlights key future goals for policymakers, researchers and practitioners. For many children and young people, Britain is a harmful society in which to grow up. This book contextualises the violence that occurs between a small number of young people within a wider perspective on social harm. Aimed at academics, youth workers and policymakers, the book presents a new way to make sense of this pressing social problem. The authors also propose measures to substantially improve the lives of Britain' s young people - in areas ranging from the early years, to youth services and the criminal justice system.
Luke Billingham is a youth and community worker at Hackney Quest and Research Associate at The Open University. Keir Irwin-Rogers is Lecturer in Criminology at The Open University.
