Aika Stephenson
That only happens to other people’s kids, right? Wrong. In this compelling book, written
by one of Britain’s top experts in youth justice, Aika Stephenson reveals the
extraordinary cases she deals with daily. From the obviously vulnerable to the A-grade
student from a stable upbringing, Just for Kids Law, the campaigning charity co-founded
by Stephenson in 2007, has helped thousands of children and young people overcome the
difficulties they face.
Aika says: ‘Every day in my job is an adventure, a battle for justice, heart-breaking, and
a joy. But very few people truly understand the law that dictates the lives of our young
people, and I want to share that with the public – both the heart-warming successes and
the shocking failures of the system.’
From playground mischief to issues with immigration status, from housing to those
facing years behind bars for a crime their friend committed, this book lays bare what
really goes on behind the scenes, from the police station through to the young
offenders’ institution and everything in between. It is an important and revelatory book
that confronts the issues that face all young people today.©2023 Aika Stephenson (P)2024 W.F. Howes Ltd
