In 1993 Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were found guilty of the abduction and murder of two-year-old James Bulger. Aged ten at the time of the offence, the children were tried in an adult court before a judge and jury amidst a blaze of publicity. They were named by the trial judge and sentenced to detention at Her Majesty's Pleasure [HMp]. The Home Secretary set a minimum tariff of fifteen years imprisonment. In December 1999 the European Court of Human Rights held that, in the conduct of the trial and the fixing of the tariff, the United Kingdom government was responsible for violating the European Convention on Human Rights. This article maps how the case became a watershed in youth justice procedure and practice influencing Labour's proposals for reform and the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act. Examining the progression of appeals through the domestic and European courts, it explores the dichotomous philosophies separating the United Kingdom and European approaches to the age of criminal responsibility, the prosecution and punishment of children, and the influence of political policy on judicial decisions. Finally, the 'backlash' against 'threatening children', the affirmation of adult power and knowledge, and the implications of the European judgments in the context of a rights-based agenda are analysed. 相似文献

The Boston Gun Project is a problem-solving policing initiativeaimed at reducing homicide victimization among young peoplein the city of Boston. It represented an innovative partnershipbetween researchers and practitioners to assess the city's youthhomicide problem and implement an intervention intended to havepowerful impacts in the near term. In early 1996, a workinggroup representing a variety of law enforcement and social serviceagencies implemented an intervention that strategically respondedto gang violence, focused enforcement efforts on gun trafficking,and emphasized communication of the strategy to generate deterrence.The intervention is associated with a 60% decline in youth homicidevictimization (i.e., two fewer victims per month). There aresmaller declines in other measures of violence. The declinein youth homicide is sharp and occurs coincident with the introductionof the intervention. Competing hypotheses appear unable to accountfor the decline. 相似文献

Although developmental theory predicts that adolescent romantic relationships have important benefits, empirical evidence
suggests that they may also carry substantial psychosocial risk. This study uses data from 4,948 respondents (50% female)
in Wave I and Wave II of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine the association between involvement
with an older romantic partner and depressive symptoms during adolescence. Ordinary least squares regression models compared
Wave II depressive symptoms among respondents with older partners (defined as an age difference of 2 or more years) to respondents
with same-age or younger partners, controlling for baseline depressive symptoms and sociodemographic characteristics. Ten
percent of females and two percent of males reported having an older romantic partner at Wave II. Among females only, involvement
with an older romantic partner was associated with a modest but significant increase in depressive symptoms between waves.
This association was largely mediated by increases in substance use. Findings suggest that involvement with an older male
partner during adolescence may increase the risk of poor emotional outcomes among females. 相似文献
