Juvenile Justice research agenda
Juvenile Justice considers the following as priority areas for establishing a research base for evidence-based decision-making.
- Prevention and early intervention with specific focus on secondary/selected intervention for young people in early contact with the Criminal Justice System;
- Bail and remand;
- Comparative cost-benefit analysis of interventions;
- Effective engagement and practise for working with young people with specific focus on indigenous young people;
- Building evidence base about what works with young offenders in NSW.
The agenda will be reviewed on an annual basis and updated following endorsement by the Juvenile Justice Executive Committee.
