There has been growing concern, however, on the part of critical criminologists and others, about the theoretical, epistemological, methodological and ethical bases of risk-focused research with young people. They have pointed particularly to the overly-deterministic and prescriptive nature of the risk factor paradigm

Within the UK, it has been incorporated into several aspects of the youth justice system, notably through new police cautioning procedures and referral orders. In this chapter we critically analyse restorative approaches to youth justice, focusing on the UK, and question how they fit within a system that attempts to deliver 'justice' for children. We start by looking at definitions of restorative justice before considering some examples of restorative approaches, how they have been incorporated into policy and practice and the evidence as to whether such schemes achieve their objectives. We then move on to question how restorative justice is located within traditional and punitive models of justice and how the needs of children are incorporated into restorative approaches.
