An accessible and up to date introduction to the key theme of policing and young people. This text gives a comprehensive overview of the issues involved in working with young people as offenders, suspects, witnesses, victims and citizens. It looks at perceptions of the young, and the role of the media in the context of current debates around anti-social behaviour, gangs and the family. The impact of multi-agency approaches on the way that young people are dealt with by the police and other agencies is considered, and additional chapters discuss police discretion and ethics, and safeguarding vulnerable young people.
Between 1974 and 2003 Colin Rogers was a police officer with South Wales Police, serving as a Constable, Sergeant and Inspector in a variety of uniformed and investigative roles. In 1998 he took up a part-time post as lecturer in Criminology at the University of Glamorgan, where he also completed his doctorate on partnership policing in 2002. On retiring from the police Dr Rogers was appointed Senior (now Principal) Lecturer in Police Sciences at Glamorgan. Since 2003 he has also been an Associate Lecturer with the Open University. He has published widely on policing and community safety. Tim Read has been a Senior Lecturer in Police Science at the University of Glamorgan since 2007.
