Abstract
This lecture was the second to be live-streamed as a webinar during COVID-19 restrictions. Dr Lightowler argued that the experiences of children in conflict with the law demonstrates that we need urgent action of a scale not seen since the Kilbrandon Report (1964). Children in conflict with the law are exposed to significant trauma, adversity, stigma, and injustice. These issues are often exacerbated by contact with the very systems and services intended to support them. Dr Lightowler will demonstrate the transformative change that could be achieved if Scotland viewed children in conflict with the law as rights-holders and devoted greater attention to upholding their rights. The lecture was followed by commentaries by Professor Ursula Kilkelly and Ms Ruth Kerracher, and a vote of thanks by Minister for Children and Early Years in the Scottish Government, Ms Claire Haughey MSP.
