Drawing on comparative work between Australia and England and Wales, this article considers issues of criminalization, racialization and youth justice. The article explores both the overt and more subtle forms of racializing and criminalizing young people and highlights the necessity for historically and situationally contextualized understandings of identity and race. The rationalities, practices and discourses of youth justice through which racialization occurs are identified, including how race itself becomes solidified as a category in which people, in many cases, from heterogeneous backgrounds, can be captured and named. In particular there is discussion of the rise of apparently neutral and non-discriminatory justifications for intervention found in the use of risk assessment that leads to racialized differentiation. It is argued that these practices both mask race in their practices and mark race in their outcomes.

青年正义与种族化：比较反思

本文借鉴澳大利亚与英格兰和威尔士之间的比较工作，考虑了刑事定罪、种族化和青年司法等问题。这篇文章探讨了对年轻人进行种族化和刑事化的公开和更微妙的形式，并强调了对身份和种族进行历史和情境情境化理解的必要性。确定了种族化发生的青年正义的合理性、实践和话语，包括种族本身如何固化为一个类别，在许多情况下，来自异质背景的人可以被捕获和命名。特别是讨论了在使用风险评估时发现的干预的明显中性和非歧视性理由的兴起，导致种族分化。
