本文在下放权力和威尔士议会历届政府更广泛的社会政策议程的背景下讨论了威尔士的青年司法服务。它列出了威尔士青少年犯罪小组的运作安排和取得的成果，然后论证了在权力下放后时期，该领域的政策和实践已经制定了具体方法。本文追溯了这种做法的主要特点，将其置于《联合国儿童权利公约》和威尔士更广泛的儿童政策发展的更广泛背景下。讨论以对威尔士青年司法最新发展的描述结束，表明它为那些关心权力下放发展的人提供了充分的兴趣点，特别是为有法律问题的儿童和年轻人提供服务。
This article discusses youth justice services in Wales in the context both of devolution and the wider social policy agenda of successive Welsh Assembly Governments. It sets out the operating arrangements and outcomes achieved by Youth Offending Teams in Wales, before arguing that a specific approach has been developed to policy and practice in this field in the post-devolution period. The article traces the main features of this approach, locating it in the wider contexts of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the development of broader children’s policy in Wales. The discussion ends with an account of the most recent developments in Welsh youth justice, suggesting that it provides ample points of interest for those concerned both with the development of devolution in general, and services for children and young people in trouble with the law, in particular.
