      abstract = {There is much here to reward a wide variety of readersfrom  those primarily concerned to develop the concepts of a  Child First approach, to those seeking to apply those  concepts in the front rooms of children who find themselves  in trouble with the law. Rt Hon Mark Drakeford MS, First  Minister of Wales This timely collection of essays seeks to  address the challenge of providing the right help for  children who find themselves in troubleThis consolidated  body of learning will serve as a bulwark against any future  temptation to bring large numbers of children back into the  criminal justice system. Charlie Taylor, HM Chief Inspector  of Prisons for England and Wales This book offers  compelling evidence, challenging questions, and it  identifies gaps and opportunities. I will be recommending  the book to those researching and working in youth justice  I hope that, like me, readers will be engaged and provoked  not only into thinking about the challenges but also into  taking action to embed Child First in practice. Keith  Fraser, Chair, Youth Justice Board for England and Wales  This book explores the development and implementation of  Child First as an innovative guiding principle for  improving youth justice systems. Applying contemporary  research understandings of what leads to positive child  outcomes and safer communities, Child First challenges  traditional risk-led and stigmatising approaches to working  with children in trouble. It has now been adopted as the  four-point guiding principle for all policy and practice  across the youth justice system in England and Wales, it is  becoming a key reform principle for youth justice in  Northern Ireland, and it is increasingly influential across  several western jurisdictions. With contributions from  academics, policymakers and practitioners, this book  critically charts the progress and challenges in  establishing a progressive evidence-led youth justice  system. Its dynamic and accessible integration of theory,  research, policy and practice, alongside discussion of  critical themes, makes it a key read for students on youth  crime/justice modules and for a wider market. Stephen Case  is Professor of Youth Justice in the Criminology, Sociology  and Social Policy division at Loughborough University, UK.  Neal Hazel is Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice  in the School of Health and Society at the University of  Salford, UK. .},
