UCC researchers publish new book on children in conflict with the law
22 May 2024
‘Children in Conflict with the Law’ is an original synthesis of international research on children and youth justice, providing an evidence base for a rights-based justice system.
The book is authored by an inter-disciplinary group of researchers across applied psychology, sociology and criminology and law - Prof. Ursula Kilkelly, Professor of Law and UCC Vice President for Global Engagement; Dr Louise Forde, Brunel University London, Dr Sharon Lambert, UCC School of Applied Psychology; and Dr Katharina Swirak, UCC School of Sociology and Criminology.
This book is the first analysis to map leading inter-disciplinary research against the international children’s rights framework in relation to children and the justice system.
It provides a unique evidence base for the implementation of children’s rights in youth justice and will support all those seeking to study, advocate or implement progressive approaches to children in conflict with the law.
