Abstract
This article is a response to Tracy Almond’s article ‘Asset: an assessment tool that safeguards or stigmatizes young offenders?’ Almond takes the position that Asset, the Youth Justice Board assessment tool, is poorly designed, labels young people unhelpfully, and that the criminal justice system (CJS)’s approach to dealing with young people is increasingly out of step with the social care approach. She explores developments in alternative approaches to working with young people which would be more ethical, and concludes that Asset is structurally inadequate and morally unsound.
