This may seem like an odd way to begin a book, but when the Research
Highlights Editorial Board first approached us about editing this collection,
Fergus had serious doubts. So many good collections, most notably the
excellent twin volumes edited by Goldson and Muncie (2006) and Muncie
and Goldson (2006), had been produced in recent years, that it was not
immediately obvious exactly what yet another volume on youth justice might
hope to achieve. Against this hesitation stood a loyalty towards the Research
Highlights series that had its origins in the many contributions that the
series had made to Fergus’s own professional and academic development.
Obviously the latter impulse won the day but, more to the point, it influenced
the way in which we jointly sought to shape and structure this volume |
