Youth Justice 6(3)
The repeated failure to learn from experience and the apparent ineffectiveness of
successive and well-intentioned policy and practice initiatives to prevent child deaths in
custody should be of serious concern to policy makers and practitioners alike.
Hopefully this book, by highlighting these shortcomings and setting out a range of
policy and practice recommendations (including the abolition of the use of penal
custody for children and a comprehensive review of the context and circumstances of
child deaths in custody) may encourage a more co-ordinated approach to the care of
young people in custody. Ultimately, however, the key challenge rests in convincing the
courts that detention in secure facilities is unlikely to be effective but almost certain to
inflict further harm upon already vulnerable and damaged young people.
