Facilitating positive change in Queensland youth justice
Youth crime is on the rise in Queensland. Recent media stories demonstrate the high cost of youth crimes for victims - financially, through serious or permanent injury, or leaving loved ones to try and pick up the pieces after senseless and tragic deaths. Victims and the wider community are understandably outraged and demand the government hold offenders accountable and protect the community by making these behaviours less likely in the future. Dr Troy Allard looks at how offenders can be held to account and address the root cause of their behaviour.
