Youth Justice Across the South Pacific integrates youth justice and criminology research, therapeutic literature, and the authors’ front-line experience to capture the complexity of youth offending and the ways in which these young people can present in therapeutic settings.

Drawing on the expertise and wisdom of the communities and practitioners across the South Pacific, this book provides a balanced view of therapeutic, clinical, and cultural (Indigenous, First Nations, Pasifika) understandings, research, and practice in youth justice and criminal justice psychology. It outlines a range of strong theoretical backgrounds, including vital indigenous worldviews, and emphasises the importance of community inclusion to promote and integrate the cultural, community, and clinical contexts within which these young people and their families live.

Written by Indigenous and cross-cultural practitioners, academics, and community leaders, Youth Justice Across the South Pacific is essential for those serving within youth justice, including students and professionals committed to working authentically for young people and their families in justice.
