This article seeks to comment on certain facets of the green paper debate that it feels have been overlooked, notably the extent to which it heralds the end of education in state-sponsored youth work, attacks young people's freedom and privacy and fails to engage civil society.
It also examines what it sees as a failure of the paper to address certain fundamental aspects of young people's experience.
Other articles in this issue consider Black youth and gun crime, young offending, homophobic bullying and schools and the link between local and professional qualifications in Wales.
Youth and Policy is available in an annual subscription package (four issues for 28; 14 for students). Single issues cost 9.
