Opis

Juvenile Crimes: Narratives of Male Juvenile Offenders in Malawi, is the best place for students and scholars doing research in the area of child justice in Malawi to start. It provides insights on the attributional patterns of young people in conflict with the law on their own offending behaviors - which tends to be significantly shaped by prevailing social-cultural patterns - defined by failure to take responsibility for one's actions, a function of external events, factors beyond one's control. It also challenges practitioners in the area of child and adolescent mental health to consider novel ways in dealing with the challenges young people in conflict with the law face . The monograph also exposes the challenges within the penal reform system that seem to hinder the effective implementation of friendly child justice based interventions
