Children and Youth Services Review, 2024, vol. 156, issue C

Abstract: Constructive relationships between staff and young people in youth justice detention are a vital component of a therapeutic youth justice approach, which extends to the maintenance of a safe environment (i.e. relational security). However, there is a dearth of research on relational security and how it can be implemented and operationalized in conventional youth justice settings.
