“…Indeed, convict lives have been increasingly sought (Frost and Maxwell-Stewart, 2001), but there has been a concentration on adult convicts, and juvenile lives are only lightly touched on. That is not to say juveniles have been ignored, as Godfrey, Cox, Shore, and Alker (2017) pointed out, works include: administrative histories of judicial and penal reform covering new statutory measures for children (Radzinowicz and Hood, 1990;Bailey, 1987); more social and culturally based studies on juvenile delinquency (Pinchbeck & Hewitt, 1973;King, 1998 and2006;Shore, 1999Shore, & 2011Pearson, 1983;Ellis, 2014); studies of juvenile institutions (Stack, 1992;Cox, 2003;Cale, 1993), studies of juvenile policing (Jackson and Bartie, 2014), and studies of juvenile court records (Bradley, 2007;. However, the whole lives of offenders convicted as juveniles, from their lives before, during, and after crime have scarcely been explored.…”
