Course summary

The MSc Youth Justice at Aberystwyth University offers a unique opportunity to study the youth justice system in England and Wales. This degree adopts a focused and specifically critical standpoint in the consideration of relevant issues, from within England and Wales. Programme content directly relates to emerging critical youth justice research and provides you with an opportunity to develop a sophisticated understanding of current policy, legislation and its historical development, legislation and research, and current and rapidly developing changes in conceptions of ‘children’ and their treatment within and beyond current systems. The degree programme also offers opportunities to engage in a comparative analysis of the approaches adopted in other jurisdictions in order to provide further critique of the current and developing picture, and evaluate the impact of research on practice and policy.
