Expert assessment of children’s criminal capacity
Recognising children as developing individuals, legal systems generally protect children from full criminal liability. Further to the minimum age of criminal responsibility, several jurisdictions include additional legal safeguards under the doctrine of doli incapax. This doctrine presumes that children within conditional age ranges (e.g. 10–13 years) are incapable of criminal intent, unless proven otherwise. Courts may seek expert assessment of …
A Novel Extended Support Model for Leaving Care and Youth Homelessness Services
Often, young people leaving out-of-home care and homelessness services receive minimal ongoing support, complicating their transition to independent living. This exploratory, mixed-methods study examined a novel unfunded program in an Australian state that provides lifelong extended support to young people exiting the organisation’s out-of-home care and homelessness programs. Through a survey of 16 staff, four of whom participated in an additiona…
Older care leavers and the aged care system
Older Care Leavers—also known as Forgotten Australians—often encounter aged care systems that fail to meet their needs or account for their traumatic histories. Systemic gaps in care planning, service design, and policy reform have left this group at risk of retraumatisation and exclusion as they age. This study explored the perspectives of older Care Leavers living in the community, who may face decisions about future aged-care options. After co…
Examining Policies and Practices to Support Young People Transitioning From Out‐of‐Home Care (Oohc) in Asia
Young people transitioning from out‐of‐home care, also known as care leavers, are globally recognised as a vulnerable group. There is a scarcity of literature on leaving care across the Global South, including Asia. The authors examined policies and practices from the grey literature to gain insights from broader literature beyond peer‐reviewed literature on Asia, which is relatively scarce and has a distinct social and cultural context compared …
Protect and prosecute
Children of criminal justice-involved parents have long been an overlooked population within adult criminal justice systems globally. This paper uses Australia as an analytic case, applying Bacchi’s poststructuralist approach to examine how policing policies recognize, represent, and respond to the wellbeing and protection needs of these children. Three Australian states – New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland – are identified as having public…
The Long Shadow of Institutionalisation
Forgotten Australians—those who spent time in institutional or out‐of‐home care as children until the 1980s—form a marginalised and often overlooked group within Australia's ageing population. Although formally recognized under the Aged Care Act, their distinct needs remain largely invisible in mainstream aged care. This study examines the perspectives of aged care professionals on the safety, accessibility and responsiveness of services for olde…
Housing and Support Interventions for Homeless Youth in High-Income Countries
Purpose: Interventions combining housing with support services have emerged as a preferred approach to support homeless youth, however their effectiveness remains uncertain. Method: This systematic review examined such interventions’ impact on outcomes for homeless youth (16–25) in high-income countries, identified their core components, assessed barriers and enablers to implementation, and documented outcome instruments used. We undertook a comp…

A scoping review of policies and practices to support young people transitioning from out-of-home care in Asia
Young transitioning from out-of-home care in Asia need formal leaving care support. • Policies and practices are mainly inadequate to support young people leaving out-of-home care in Asia. • Residential care settings (RCS) are major alternative care providers in Asia. • Stigma and cultural barriers experienced by care leavers. • There is a need to develop a social ecology of support that is socially and culturally appropriate for care leavers in …
The Impact of Witnessing Parental Arrest on Children
The arrest of a parent can be a pivotal moment for their children. While providing opportunities to identify children in need, children may be placed at particular risk when physically present at the point of arrest. This scoping review synthesized results from existing research on the impact of witnessing parental arrest on children. Searches across three databases and two search engines yielded 6,456 references, with 29 studies meeting the incl…
Police and youth justice system involvement of girls aged 10–17 years in Australia
Beyond Survival
Older care leavers, or Forgotten Australians, who experienced institutional and foster care up until the 1980s, are now an ageing and vulnerable population in Australia. This study draws on interviews with 24 care leavers to examine how institutional histories shape their lives and approaches to aged care. Analysis revealed four overlapping life‐story themes: the profound impact of childhood institutionalisation, the enduring effects of systemic …
Educational experiences and needs of students in out-of-home care
Numerous studies show that children and young people in out-of-home care (OOHC) face significant disadvantage in completing high school and accessing post-secondary education. The current research involved a two-round Delphi survey which aimed to identify educational challenges and school reforms to improve the educational experiences of children and young people in OOHC. A total of 45 participants from three OOHC stakeholder groups (carers of ch…
Youth justice-involved LGBTIQA+ young people
A growing body of research explores the intersectional needs and experiences of youth justice (YJ)-involved young people. However, there remains limited research on the experiences of and service responses to justice-involved lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual and other sexually or gender-diverse (LGBTIQA+) young people. This paper contributes practitioner and policy perspectives on the topic, with focus group data from…
How does the media represent institutional child sexual abuse within Jewish communities? A case study of the Malka Leifer court case
Concerns about institutional child sexual abuse within Jewish communities have been documented in two recent national inquiries into child sexual abuse, in Australia, and England and Wales. Yet to date, there has been little analysis of how media reporting informs public awareness of these concerns, and potential programme and policy responses. This paper examines media reports of the high‐profile case of ultra‐orthodox Jewish school principal Ma…
Examining the role of lived experience consultants in an Australian research study on the educational experiences of children and young people in out-of-home care
Children and young people’s access to and engagement in education is a key determinant of future positive outcomes. Children and young people in out-of-home care disproportionally experience educational disruptions and disengagements affecting their ability to participate in schooling, further and higher education. There is increasing international interest in the participation of young people with lived experience of out-of-home (OOHC) in resear…
Gender Differences in the Maltreatment-Youth Offending Relationship
Maltreated and child welfare-involved youth are over-represented in juvenile justice systems. These youth are at a greater risk of serious offending and justice system entrenchment relative to their non-maltreated peers. Understanding gender differences in the pathways to justice involvement and the nature of offending among maltreated children is critical for informing policy and practice. Yet, this body of evidence is fragmented. This scoping r…
Young people transitioning from out-of-home care
Child protection and youth offending
The over-representation of children from child protection backgrounds in youth justice systems presents a long-standing concern. This study adds to a growing body of research that identifies how such dual system youth differ from other criminal court-involved youth. It also investigates heterogeneity among dual system youth based on the concurrent (dually-involved) or non-concurrent (dual contact) nature of their systems involvement. Socio-demogr…
Living with Experience in the Academy
Lived-experience perspectives have gained increasing traction in social work research, presenting valuable opportunities for novel insights to inform policy, practice, and research. Yet these developments have perhaps outpaced our capacity as producers and consumers of research to consider their broader ethical implications for social work researchers with lived experience (particularly those with undisclosed experiences). Through a series of cri…
Healing Trauma and Loss and Increasing Social Connections
International literature suggests that many young people transitioning from government care become parents before age 21, characteristically termed ‘early parenting’, at least in the English-speaking world. Yet there is only limited knowledge of the factors that lead to this challenging responsibility. This paper presents findings from a qualitative study of service providers’ experiences working with young people transitioning from care who had …
Multi‐system factors impacting youth justice involvement of children in residential out‐of‐home care

Neurodisability among Children at the Nexus of the Child Welfare and Youth Justice System
Although neurodisability features significantly across child welfare and youth justice cohorts, little research investigates neurodisability among crossover children with dual systems involvement. This study examined differences in childhood adversity, child protection involvement, and offending among crossover children by neurodisability status. Data were from a sample of 300 children (68% male, 31% female, 1% transgender; mean age = 16.2 years,…

Young People Transitioning from Out-of-home Care in Victoria
A significant proportion of young people leaving out-of-home care make their transition to independence via the youth justice system, exposing them to further risks and reducing their likelihood of full social and economic engagement in mainstream society. This article presents the initial findings of a research project based on a partnership between Monash University and seven nongovernment child and youth welfare agencies in Victoria, Australia…
Crossover Children
Child protection-involved youth face increased risk of criminal justice system contact. Such “crossover children” experience earlier police involvement and more serious criminal justice sanctions, yet little is known about their early offending. Using a cross-sectional sample of 300 crossover children before three Victorian Children's Courts in 2016–17, this mixed-methods study examines the nature and context of children's initial police charges.…

Maltreatment and Delinquency
Child protection-involved children experience disproportionately high criminal justice system contact, yet little is known about the circumstances in which such children offend. This study sought to identify the contexts in which this group of children offend and factors associated with children being charged in each context. A mixed-methods analysis of Children’s Court case files was conducted utilising a cross-sectional sample of 300 children w…

The impact of parental incarceration on children's care
Parental incarceration has wide‐ranging impacts on families. One key effect may be disruption to the care and legal custody of children, yet few studies have examined processes and outcomes relating to care planning for children of prisoners. This paper presents findings of interviews with 151 primary carer prisoners in two Australian states which aimed to address this research gap. The study examined care planning for children upon parental arre…

The primary objective of this study was to examine the extent to which young people who completed t…
Setting Them up to Fail’
Child protection and youth justice are the two most significant statutory systems involved in the care of children and adolescents in Australia. Care leavers are one of the most disadvantaged and marginalised populations in our society. Their precare experiences of abuse and neglect, their often poor in-care experiences, their accelerated transitions to adulthood, and the lack of ongoing support they receive upon leaving care make them vulnerable…
Good Practice in Community-based Supervision of Aboriginal Youth Offenders
While it has been recognised for some time that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people are significantly over-represented among youth justice populations, there is a dearth of research examining the elements of effective supervision for this group. This article presents the initial findings of a research project based on a partnership between Monash University and Juvenile Justice, New South Wales. Two focus groups were conducted, the…
