This chapter discusses the problems that arise from the overt aim of JJCs (the author’s included) to change young offenders, i.e. to “re-socialize” them. These problems include the use of short-term behaviourist-like interventions, the (il)legitimacy of bringing the youth in line with the alleged pro-sociality of the neoliberal mainstream governance, the frailty of the claim that harm (deprivation of freedom) is needed to address harm (i.e. crimes), or the ethical dilemmas of promoting supposedly good-for-all changes in children or collectives that might not want them, or not want them like “offered”.

摘要

This chapter discusses the problems that arise from the overt aim of JJCs (the author’s included) to change young offenders, i.e. to “re-socialize” them. These problems include the use of short-term behaviourist-like interventions, the (il)legitimacy of bringing the youth in line with the alleged pro-sociality of the neoliberal mainstream governance, the frailty of the claim that harm (deprivation of freedom) is needed to address harm (i.e. crimes), or the ethical dilemmas of promoting supposedly good-for-all changes in children or collectives that might not want them, or not want them like “offered”.
