Raymond Arthur graduated with a BA (Hons) in Law & European Studies and an LLM degree from the University of Limerick, Ireland. Dr Raymond Arthur completed his PhD on family life and youth offending behaviour at the School of Law, University of Birmingham in 2003.This work examined the state's obligations to protect the welfare of children and prevent youth offending under domestic and international law and developed the argument that all young people have a legal right to the provision of youth crime preventive support and services. Since then he has published two sole authored monographs, chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles on issues related to the delivery of justice for children and families, the complex linkage between parenting and youth offending and the extent to which the youth justice system in England and Wales protects children's human rights in the light of international best practice. He has previously worked at Teesside University, the Open University and the University of Limerick.
I specialise in researching children’s right to self-determination in justice settings and developing a broader understanding of the experiences of troubled and vulnerable young people. My inter-disciplinary and multidisciplinary research embraces innovative methodologies to examine issues of children’s rights and family justice in novel ways which enrichs the lives of the young people I have worked with and provides transformative solutions to societal challenges.
