Christine Kelly is an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Law, University of Glasgow where she was formerly a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow. She is a qualified solicitor and received her PhD from the University of Glasgow. Her research interests centre on the history of juvenile justice in Scotland over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and encompass criminalisation, social theory and the histories of criminal justice and criminal law.
"Dr. Kelly's analysis of history of the distinctive Scottish system of juvenile justice is based on meticulous archival and legal research; on an astute reading of the historical literature on childhood; and on a clear grasp of the issues raised by the criminalization of children. Above all, it shows the way in which this history continues to echo in debates about juvenile justice.-- ""Nicola Lacey, London School of Economics"" This book skilfully guides us through the landscape of child-welfare and institutional management and will be appreciated by both students and experienced researchers for its accessible writing style. Juvenile justice has recently acquired new currency, and this study adds a valuable perspective that has been previously been missing.-- ""Barry Godfrey, University of Liverpool"" Juvenile Justice in Victorian Scotland substantially expands our understanding of the early development of ""juvenile justice before the juvenile court,"" particularly in its discussion of the Scottish industrial day school. Building on scholarly works by David J. Rothman, Steven Schlossman, David Garland, and Linda Mahood, it extends and enriches the historical chronology and geography of struggle between protective and punitive approaches to troubled children and youth.--William S.
