The terms ‘youth’ and ‘crime’ are often used interchangeably. Young people are typically portrayed as threats, deviant, deficient, or dangerous. In recent years, such concerns have crystallized in a myriad of interventions, reform programs and policies designed to effect their compliance, discipline, guidance, protection, control and punishment and prevent ‘anti-social’ and ‘undesirable behaviour. This course examines anti-oppression approaches to work with youth affected by these perspectives and interventions. Lect: 3 hrs.
