Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on A Critical Analysis of New Labours Youth Justice Policies from 1996-2009. It needs to be at least 2000 words. In a strongly-worded speech, Prime Minister David Cameron bore down heavily on youth gangs and promised a criminal justice system that will clamp down heavily on them. He said, “We need a criminal justice system that scores a heavy line between right and wrong. In short, all the action necessary to help mend our broken society. At the heart of all the violence sits the issue of the street gangs. Territorial, hierarchical and incredibly violent, they are composed of young boys, mainly from dysfunctional homes.” (Cameron, 2011).
What has been left unsaid in Cameron’s speech is that a retributive youth justice system has already been in place as a result of New Labour Policies from 1996-2009. In truth, the London riots invite us to look into the effectivity of these policies and interrogate why this youth justice system has not abated the problems and conditions that gave rise to the 2011 conflagrations. The riots may have exposed the gaps into the current youth justice system, and demand a rethinking of the premises and paradigms that underlie current criminal justice policies. Indeed, the riots may be said to be a clear and in-your-face rebuff of the “Respect Agenda” which tackled anti-social behaviour and clamped down on street crime because purportedly “the values the majority hold dear are not shared by a selfish minority.”(Respect Action Plan: 3) It is, therefore, an opportune time to look back at the Youth Justice policies of the New Labour and determine whether or not these policies remain responsive to the times that we are in.
 .
There are indeed some beneficial components of the new policies on Youth Justice. For one, it is very specific and identifies the problem areas to be addressed. The document on anti-social behaviour, for example, .identifies a social malaise that requires responses. . .Also, the policies have the objective of restoring order and discipline – indeed, noteworthy aspirations. .
