NSW Juvenile Justice policy review
The Minister for Juvenile Justice has commissioned a strategic review of Juvenile Justice Policy and Practice in NSW. Noetic group have been engaged to undertake the review.
The purpose of the review is to ensure that NSW Juvenile Justice is able to provide the best possible support and assistance to young offenders to assist them in breaking the cycle of re-offending.
The last strategic review of NSW Juvenile Justice policy and practice was undertaken in 1993, however national and international research and experience has progressed significantly since then.
As the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders and reduced juvenile re-offending is a shared responsibility amongst government agencies and the community, the review will focus on a system wide audit of current juvenile justice policy, practice and strategies in NSW to reduce juvenile re-offending rates.
The review will be seeking views from stakeholders. More information on how to make a submission can be found on the Making Submissions section.
