Separate systems of justice for children and young people have always been beset by issues of contradiction and compromise.

This article reviews current social policy and penal policy responses to risk, with particular attention to how policies of responsibilization have implications for rights leading to an increased emphasis upon conditional rights. Responsibilization has also framed risk policies as increasingly preventative (and potentially exclusionary) and the limits of this `risk factorology' approach are examined. The…
