Abstract: | The last few years have seen much emphasis being placed on the speed of justice. In particular there has been an emphasis
on speeding up youth justice, and this has resulted in quite a few Youth Courts establishing fast tracking schemes for persistent
and spree offenders. One of the first of these started two years ago at Sheffield Youth Court. Its progress has been closely
monitored by both the court staff and by research carried out at the University of Sheffield. The paper presents some of the
results of this research, considering the purpose of fast tracking, what effect it has had on the court process, and the consequences
for young offenders themselves.
