%X The school context has been found to be highly influential in youth justice assessments of young people. Using Belgium as a case study and based on a study of court files and interviews with youth justice professionals, this article traces the significance of school-based information in decisions made on Roma youth. More specifically, it examines what these discourses communicate and how they shape young people¡¯s correctional trajectories. The article argues that negative school experiences and discriminatory practices in education towards Roma are often reflected in youth justice professionals¡¯ construction of the problems presented by Roma youth, albeit within a different discursive framing. The article draws on the notion of ¡®entextualisation¡¯ (extracting discourse from its original context and re-inserting it in another setting) and its consequences for young people from Roma backgrounds who come into conflict with the law
