Summary / Abstract:

ENWe all know that children and young people are the future of our societies and that we should do everything we can to nurture and protect them until they are fully developed. If a child or young person is going off the rails we need to find the best way of helping them back on track. That is why individual assessment of young people involved with the law is so important. We want to find the particular strategy with the best chance of working for that particular young person. An individual assessment also offers the best way of involving the young person in their own future. It therefore gives me great pleasure to contribute the foreword to this book which is rich in information about individual assessment (IA) in four countries Lithuania, the lead partner in the project, Croatia, Cyprus and Greece. In detail, the partners are the Law Institute of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences (Lithuania), the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences of the University of Zagreb (Croatia), HFC Hope for Children Policy Center (Cyprus) and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) [...].
