Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published 30 years ago, the findings of a Committee organized by the then Secretary of State, John Maclay and Lord Muirshiel, had profound effects on the treatment of juvenile delinquents and juveniles in need of care or protection. The ongoing use and reference to the report has resulted in its continued relevance and the development of its theme of listening to children and young people, taking account of their views. The re-issue of the "Kilbrandon Report" demonstrates the need to regularly review the work of legal panels and the legal arrangements under which they operate.
