Description
‘Challenging stigmatising practices in the Juvenile Justice System. Some reflections on stigma, prejudice and professional attitudes towards young offenders’ The focus of this presentation is to challenge existing social representations on ‘young offenders’. It is understood that stigma is a big issue in services provided by marginalised populations, including ‘young offenders’. It is known that social representations play a key role on the way professionals work. But not only, also in the way policies are designed and delivered. The presentation aim to provoke practitioners to reflect upon their ‘hidden’ prejudices and to critically consider the ideologies influencing policy design and delivery.| Period | 6 Apr 2017 |
