Beyond The Behaviour

A Trauma-Informed, Family Systems Guide for Child Justice Practitioners. BEYOND THE BEHAVIOUR is a groundbreaking, practice-oriented scholarship grounded in Bowen’s Family Systems Theory. Authored by Prof. Jostinah Wawasi Mwang’ombe, OGW, M.Econ, this work re-centres trauma, family systems, and structural injustice in understanding children in conflict with the law.

Contextualised for African and Global South Child Justice Systems—yet universally relevant—the book integrates Trauma-Informed Care, Family Systems Theory, Bridges Theory, policy frameworks, and frontline practice.

It speaks directly to Judicial Officers, Probation Officers, Borstal Institution Staff, Social Workers, Psychologists, Educators, NGOs, Policymakers, and Justice Reform Advocates.

“Beyond the Behaviour” is not just a book—it is a call to rethink justice, rehabilitation, and care for children whose behaviours reflect unmet needs, disrupted attachments, and systemic failures.
