Children and Young People's Centre for Justice

Description

The Children's and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ) is dedicated to fortifying Scotland's rights-respecting approach towards children and adolescents who are in conflict with the law, thus contributing to better outcomes for children, adolescents and communities.

CYCJ generates robust, pioneering international work, combining insights from children and adolescents, empirical evidence, practical knowledge, and system expertise to be a front-runner in child and youth justice deliberations in Scotland and beyond.

CYCJ's concentration is threefold:

• Amplifying children and adolescents' voices through participation and engagement.
• Developing, supporting, and enhancing justice for children and adolescents through practice and policy development.
• Advancing understanding of justice for children and adolescents through research.

All of these activities are undergirded and interconnected by communication and knowledge exchange work, aimed at improving the awareness of evidence in various forms, and facilitating dialogue among different perspectives, knowledge types, and viewpoints.

CYCJ is chiefly funded by the Scottish Government and located at the University of Strathclyde.
