Macquarie Legal Centre's Youth Justice: Your Guide to Cops and Court in New South Wales provides a practical guide for young people who come into contact with the police or the criminal justice system in NSW. Presented in a clear and jargon-free style, the book covers a broad range of topics including police interviews, police searches, theYoung Offenders Act and youth justice conferences, bail, court processes, court outcomes, AVOs and dealing with unpaid fines. Aside from helping young people understand their rights, this book is an essential resource for youth workers, youth advocates, social workers, counsellors, teachers or anyone else who works to support young people. With specially tailored sections on supporting young people through police interviews, youth justice conferences, lawyer interviews and court, Youth Justice enables workers to understand their role and suggests advocacy strategies in dealing with the police or courts. Now in its third edition, Youth Justice has been updated and greatly expanded into a more comprehensive and detailed legal resource. There arenew chapters on 'getting legal advice and assistance' and 'security guards', as well as expanded sections on court processes and outcomes for common offences. Recent changes to the law and legal processes have been accommodated with new material on the youth and adult drug courts, police sniffer dogs, 'drug house' legislation and other changes to police powers and court processes in NSW.
