Finally Luke Billingham, a youth worker from Hackney and a research associate at the OU, and how violence is a symptom of structural humiliation with harm and neglect emanating from societal systems, attitudes and inequalities

Next up Prof Hannah Smithson who sounds a note of caution: we need to look at what’s really going on behind the positive data, such as the reduction in the number of children in prison and challenge ourselves about how much we are influencing change

Brilliant presentation from Dr Yusef Bakkali, who says he was an unintentional aspiring academic. He asks can we “police” away complex problems or do we need a completely different approach?

Powerful presentation by Dr John Wainright on the impact of structural racism and the prevalence of systemic whiteness on children

Brilliant opening by Brenda Campbell KC on how the #youthjustice is unrecognisable today but there is still so much to do

Our first post here is live from a packed room in Manchester Hall for our annual seminar on #youthjustice
