Abstract: Analysts of criminal justice have become increasingly sensitive to the question of the voluntariness of the defendant's plea. In England, the United States and Australia it has been argued that pressures are applied to defendants to admit guilt. Although these studies have focussed predominantly on the adult jurisdiction, there is ample evidence to suggest that the majority of children also plead guilty, thereby waiving their right to a trial and its associated procedural protections. Employing the South Australian system of juvenile justice as a case study, this paper considers whether the high rate of guilty pleas is a function of pressures, appropriate or otherwise, brought to bear on the young defendant.
