For 10 years the Youth Justice Convention has brought together delegates from youth offending teams, police, local authorities, secure establishments, sentencers, probation and other key stakeholders and policy makers in the youth justice system. This year's event brought together leading speakers to address current key issues across the spectrum of youth justice policy and practice. The wide range of seminars and workshops at Convention 2009 also provided an opportunity to critically assess key issues facing youth justice today.
