This study addresses the important problem of violence in Australian youth and the need for early intervention/prevention to limit further reoccurrences and escalation of violence across the life span and its associated economic and health costs. For the first time we will have specific access to Australian data on violent offending patterns and risk in adolescents for use in service planning rather than attempting to apply findings from North America and Europe to our unique population. Work in this field will help improve the characterisation and identification of at-risk individuals and should ultimately improve our ability to direct treatment interventions to the most needy and most high risk groups.

这项研究探讨了澳大利亚青年中的暴力这一重要问题，以及早期干预/预防的必要性，以限制暴力在一生中的进一步再次发生和升级及其相关的经济和卫生成本。我们将首次获得澳大利亚关于青少年暴力犯罪模式和风险的具体数据，用于服务规划，而不是试图将北美和欧洲的研究结果应用于我们独特的人口。这一领域的工作将有助于改进高危个人的特征和识别，并最终提高我们将治疗干预措施引导到最需要和最高风险群体的能力。
