Transforming Youth Justice:Occupational identity and cultural change by Anna Souhami, has recently been reviewed by James Warr in Youth Justice journal. Here are some comments from the review:

'Anna Souhami’s book outlines an extremely detailed ethnographic study from within a Youth Justice Team prior to, and leading upto, the move into a Youth Offending Team. It offers a valuable insight into the implementation and impacts of the 1998 reforms upon youth justice practitioners and their resulting struggles with occupational identity.'

'Overall, Souhami provides a fascinating and thorough insight into the experiences of one Youth Justice Team’s struggle with occupational identity during a time of intense pressure and uncertainty. Itwill prove an interesting and valuable source for youth justice practitioners, researchers and students alike.'
