Abstract
This paper contends that young people are
labelled and stigmatised by engaging in
early-preventative intervention;
continually viewed in a negative light; and
are unable to overcome the negative
outsider’ label attached to them. What is
more, the paper contends that girls are
drawn into the system for welfare rather
than crime related matters and youth
justice policy and practice ignores girls’
gender-specific needs.
