  Young adults aged 18-21 are at the peak age for offending, but they have been neglected in comparison with young people under 18, they have few programmes designed specially for them, and they are held in adult prisons rather than Young Offender Institutions. This book focuses upon young adults and the treatment in the criminal justice system.
