How do you feel about the UK’s age of criminal responsibility being 10 - the youngest in Europe When might a child reasonably understand the consequences of their actions What role do family and community play in a young person’s development - and why can a life of crime sometimes feel like their only option We deal in reality, not soundbites and sensationalism together, we’ll explore the psychological, social, and political factors that have shaped the past, present, and future of juvenile justice worldwide.Learn from experts with personal and professional experience of the youth justice system uncover the deeper truths behind the lives of at-risk juveniles examine your own prejudices and preconceptions in a whole new light. It’s time to ask bigger, better questions - it’s time to be the difference that young people need.
