“…Following a comprehensive review, Thornberry and Krohn (2000) conclude that 'self-reported measures of delinquency are as reliable as, if not more reliable than, most social science measures'. Sutterer and Karger (1994) found that willingness to give written consent for examination of official (police and court) files was a positive indicator of the validity of individual self-report data. Coincidentally, at sweep 4 of the Edinburgh Study, respondents were asked to sign a permission slip for access to their police records.…”

This article assesses the effectiveness of the Scottish model of youth justice in the context of a growing body of international research that is challenging the `evidence base' of policy in many western jurisdictions. Drawing on findings from the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime, it shows how labelling processes within agency working cultures serve to recycle certain categories of children into the youth justice system, whereas other serious offenders escape the tutelage of the formal system altogether. The deeper a child penetrates the formal system, the less likely he or she is to desist from offending. The article concludes that the key to reducing offending lies in minimal intervention and maximum diversion. Although the Scottish system should be better placed than most other western systems at delivering such an agenda (owing to its founding commitment to decriminalization and destigmatization), as currently implemented it appears to be failing many young people.
