330 _athis article assesses the effectiveness of the Scotish model of youth justice in the context of a growing body of international research that is challenging the evidence base of policy inmany western jurisdictions. Drawing on findings from the edinburgh study of youth Transitions and crime, it shows low labelling process within agency working cultures serve to recycle certain categories of children into the youth system, whereas other serious offenders escapethe tutelage of normal system, whereas other serious offenders escape the tutelage of the formal system altogether. the deeper a child penetrates the formal system, the less likely he or she is to desist from offending lies in minimal intervention and maxium diversion. although the Scottish system should be better placed than most other western systems at delivering such an agenda (owing to its founding commitment to decriminalization and destigmazation), as currently implemented it appears to be failing many young people.
