The course offers a sociological analysis of the effectiveness of various reform measures adopted in separate court systems for youth. Attention is directed to the nature and extent of youth crime as well as changing public perceptions about youth violence. The course also examines force-based systems of punishment and restorative models of youth criminal justice. The Canadian youth justice system is compared to models in other Western jurisdictions.
