Youth in Conflict with the Law, Fourth Edition
Now in its fourth edition, Youth in Conflict with the Law provides a thorough background on the social development of children and youth and the legal responses to young persons who are involved with crime in Canada. While maintaining the sharp focus and the discussion-provoking features that made earlier editions so popular, authors Denise Whitehead and Mark D. Hunter guide students through the important distinction between punishment and a restorative justice approach—a crucial understanding for those who are the first point of contact with youth. Highlighting the important role of police involvement from first contact to youth justice court, this new edition delves deeply into current i...

The Federal Statistical System: Its Vulnerability Matters More Than You Think
How do federal statistics strengthen our nation's science as well as its policy? In this latest volume of The ANNALS, leading academics, along with key federal officials, including the president's science advisor, the chief statistician of the U.S., the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the presidents of the National Academies, and the director of the Census Bureau address the argument that the statistics that the federal statistical system produces should be understood as constituting a scientific infrastructure for the empirical social sciences. Further, they see the current federal statistical system as "the best hope for bringing strong science to bear on new data sources" and "the best place to navigate unforeseen challenges in preserving the independence of statistical information from political interference." If federal statistics are the knowledge base from which policy problems and solutions emerge, it is imperative that we pay attention to the lessons they offer. Never before has this topic received this level of attention from such an array of contributors. A must read for all social scientists and policy-makers.

The Draft Universal Credit Regulations 2013; the Benefit Cap (Housing Benefit) Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/2994); the Draft Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker's Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Claims and Payments) Regulations 2013
The Social Security Advisory Committee undertook a public consultation exercise as part of their review of universal credit and related regulations and reported that the majority of respondents were broadly supportive of the Government's ambitions to simplify the benefits system. The Committee made 36 recommendations across six broad themes: overarching issues; self employment; housing; the benefit cap; conditionality and sanctions; and claims and payments. The Government brings forward regulations which address a number of the Committee's concerns and make improvements to the way in which universal credit will operate. These include the detailed arrangements for self-employed people, provisions to pay housing cost support for those living in supported exempt accommodation outside of universal credit, and provisions to provide alternative payment arrangements to support claimants as they move to universal credit. The Government also accepts the Committee's recommendations to monitor and evaluate the impact of the implementation of universal credit. The Department is also assembling an export advisory group to help with the evaluation of universal credit
