Summary

Hydle, Ida (2008). Youth Justice and Restorative Justice in Norway In Katherine Van Wormer, Restorative Justice Across the East and the West. Manchester, UK: Casa Verde Publishing. Pp. 33-46.

"In this chapter I will examine some historical traits of Norwegian Youth Justice, especially from the 19th century onwards, with an emphasis on the last two decades. This investigation will be based upon a particular societal perspective and will consider the question: How can we provide justice for youth who get into trouble in today's society? A partial answer comes in the form of restorative justice as a recent innovation that avoids many of the problems of the traditional criminal justice system." (abstract)
