A National Approach to Safety and Quality in Australian Youth Justice
The safety and quality of youth justice services across Australia have for some years now been the subject of concern, with numerous recommendations put forward to strengthen service delivery. However, there remains no accepted mechanism to assess the quality of services, with current approaches relying on risk elimination and containment strategies—often after an adverse incident has taken place. We contrast this with contemporary approaches to …
A Thematic Analysis of Case Managers’ Perspectives on Enablers and Constraints to Community Youth Justice Service Delivery in an Australian Jurisdiction
In a context in which many calls are made for the reform of youth justice services, little is known about aspects of practice that youth justice staff regard as critical to effective service delivery in community settings. This study reports an analysis of seven focus groups involving 40 Youth Justice staff members from an Australian jurisdiction. Participants identified the ability to engage and build rapport with justice-involved young people a…
Interactions Between Child-Rearing and Other Risk Factors in Predicting Delinquency, and Implications for Prevention
This article aims to identify interactions between harsh discipline and poor supervision and other childhood risk factors (all measured at age 8–10) in predicting delinquency. It analyzes data collected in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (CSDD), which is a prospective longitudinal study of 411 London males first assessed at age 8. Of these males, 26% were convicted between ages 10 and 17. Harsh discipline and poor supervision signif…
The Association Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Different Types of Offending Behavior
Research has established a relationship between trauma exposure, often conceptualized as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and offending, with some evidence suggesting that both trauma and offending can be transmitted from one generation to the next. Further, while some evidence suggests that experiencing a high number of ACEs is associated with different types of offenses, it is not known whether these associations are similar across generat…
Popular but Poorly Defined
This scoping review describes youth diversion schemes, with a key focus on how diversion is defined, implemented, and evaluated. We provide a narrative synthesis of 68 studies and examine key components of each diversion scheme, including: eligibility and exclusion criteria, timing of diversion, the mechanism of intervention, outcome measures and key findings. We identify which schemes appear most promising, while highlighting methodological limi…
The Introduction of Extended Out‐of‐Home Care (Oohc) Until 21 Years in Australia
It is increasingly recognised by global research that extending out‐of‐home care (OOHC) until at least 21 years of age is the policy reform most likely to advance improved outcomes for care leavers. In recent years, all eight Australian jurisdictions (States and Territories) have introduced forms of extended care programs. Yet, major variations remain between these jurisdictions in terms of the placement types covered, the levels of support and f…

Protective factors for externalising behaviour problems in children and adolescents living in out-of-home care
A rapid evidence assessment of barriers and strategies in service engagement when working with young people with complex needs
Young people with complex needs often have a range of co-occurring challenges that require the support of multiple government agencies and services. Increasingly, government agencies are working with young people who present with co-occurring and comorbid complex needs requiring co-ordinated multi-agency responses. However, agencies and services are often faced with multiple obstacles and challenges to meeting the needs of these young people, pla…
Patterns of alleged offending amongst Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal young people in the Northern Territory of Australia, 1997–2019
In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are much more likely to be arrested, charged with criminal offences and imprisoned than other Australians. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders comprise 49% of young people in detention but only 5.8% of the Australian population aged 10–17. This study investigated changes between 1997 and 2019 in the interaction of Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal young people with the justice system in t…
Researching Adverse Childhood Experiences in the Youth Justice System
Understanding the impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) has rapidly emerged as an important area of research that has implications for those who work in youth justice settings. This paper identifies a series of considerations facing those who work in jurisdictions where Indigenous or First Nations peoples have much higher levels of contact with both child protection and criminal justice systems than other population groups. It presents …
Early versus late contact with the youth justice system
Children who have ‘early contact’ with youth justice (YJ) are a group of significant policy interest. Understanding circumstances which precede or co-occur with YJ contact can support the development of preventive investments and inform debates about systemic reform, such as ‘raise the age’. Using whole-of-population administrative data from the SA Better Evidence Better Outcomes Linked Data (BEBOLD) platform, we examine differences between child…
Associations Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Trauma Among Young People Who Offend
This systematic review synthesized current knowledge about the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among young people known to have offended and examined evidence of associations between ACEs, trauma symptoms, and offending behavior. A systematic search of English-language, peer-reviewed studies published from the year 2000 onwards was conducted. A final pool of 124 studies that reported quantitative data were included in the revie…
All in the Family? Exploring the Intergenerational Transmission of Exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences and Their Effect on Offending Behavior
Research indicates that individuals with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are more likely to offend, and that some ACEs, such as offending and child maltreatment, are transmitted from one generation to the next. However, the extent to which ACEs are transferred across generations and its subsequent impact on offending has not been examined. Using data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, this study examined the intergenerationa…
Addressing Intergenerational Trauma in an Adolescent Reunification Program
Opportunities for prevention
The increased risk of offending associated with level and timing of early CPS contact highlights opportunities for a differentiated public health response to improve life trajectories for children and to reduce youth crime. Although children with unsubstantiated notifications of maltreatment do not meet the criteria for a statutory CPS response, the higher risk of offending among these children supports their inclusion in targeted preventive inte…
Is Self-Reported Propensity for Everyday Illusions of Control Higher in Gamblers and Is It Associated With Gambling-Specific Erroneous Beliefs
People who engage in gambling are known to hold erroneous views about the nature of gambling. One of the most commonly observed cognitive biases is the illusion of control, where people’s subjective appraisal of contingency between behavior and events is greater than the objective contingency. Such beliefs have been found to be strongest in problem gamblers and can lead to over-confidence in the ability to win money from gambling. A question, how…
Description and evaluation of a trial program aimed at reunifying adolescents in statutory long-term out-of-home care with their birth families
Hearing and justice
Who is doing well
ObjectiveAccording to Diener (1984), wellbeing is a multi‐faceted concept reflecting satisfaction with life, good physical health, and fewer negative psychological symptoms. Using data from a 10‐year longitudinal study of school leavers (n = 390), we examine whether people aged 25 can be differentiated into clusters based on indicators of wellbeing, then whether membership in the healthy as opposed to the less healthy cluster can be predicted by …
