an article by Laurie D. Grandi (Middlesex University, London, UK) and Joanna R. Adler (affiliation(s) unknown) published in Youth Justice Volume 16 Issue 3 (2016)
Abstract
This study concerns the incidence and aetiology of breach of youth community sentences.
A between-groups archival study compared those who breached with those who did not, on socio-demographic and criminogenic factors. Breachers were a minority, likely to breach repeatedly and were similar to those who re-offended.
Whether they breach or re-offend may depend on something other than the characteristics of the Order and the young person’s situation. Youth Justice Professionals should be mindful of the identified areas of need and responsivity when considering compliance.

Youth Studies and Timescapes Insights From an Ethnographic Study of “Young Night Drifters” in Hong Kong’s Public Housing Estates
an article by Julian M. Groves (Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, PRC), Wai-Yip Ho (City University of Hong Kong, PRC) and Kaxton Siu (Australian National University, Canberra) published in Youth & Society Volume 44 Number 4 (December 2012)
Abstract
This article draws on insights from the sociology of time to examine how scheduling influences social interaction and identity among young people and those who work with them.
Drawing on an ethnographic analysis of “Young Night Drifters” and youth outreach social workers in Hong Kong’s public housing estates, we create a framework to understand youth in the context of time scheduling. Certain time schedules provide opportunities for young people to enjoy greater intimacy and looser authority structures.
The particular scheduling of young people’s activities can expose them to delinquent groups and activities and isolate them from mainstream society. Time is also a marker that creates new identities and shapes interactions between youth workers and their clients. By focusing on the timing of youth activities, we redress an imbalance in the literature on youth studies which has been preoccupied with space.
