Project
This is in your interest! Genealogy of the impact of youth protection interventions on youngsters lives. (FWOKN239)
This project concerns the perspective of former « clients » of the juvenile justice system. By way of in-depth interviews and a qualitative analysis of judicial files this research aims at gaining insight in the experience of being a "juvenile justice" client.
With the centenary anniversary of the Belgian juvenile justice system in mind (May 2012), it is necessary to approach the historical analysis of juvenile justice practices by including "the voices" of the children of the juvenile justice and protection system.
The central research question of this proposal can be formulated as follows: What has been the "impact" of the juvenile justice intervention(s) on the lives of youngsters and how has this been changing through time? In other words, we want to analyse and question in how and in what way former "clients" of the juvenile justice system attribute significance to their contact with the different actors of the juvenile justice, and how they give it a place in their life-history narrative.
