Book synopsis

This book seeks to tell the story of welfare §provision for young people at risk of offending in §one area of North Wales. Its main focus is on the §views of young people from the largely rural counties §of Conwy and Denbighshire area, who have been §referred to the youth justice services for their §convictions in court or their at risk behaviour. §From Youth Justice Board evidence and other research §studies, we think we know what factors contribute to §the risk of offending, which welfare agencies are §used and how many times these young people are §referred to them. The work aims to look at provision §from a qualitative perspective; a primary site of §interest for this thesis is whether the service §helped, if it was appropriate and how relationships §developed. The focus on North Wales provides an extra §dimension in its rurality and distance from the power §bases in Cardiff and London. Thus, Food, Clothes §and Shelter? aims to provide valuable insight into §the relationship between welfare services and young §people and it will ensure that the debate has been §properly contextualised within the wider discsussions §on the youth justice system in England and Wales.
