BREAKING THE JUVENILE CRIME CYCLE: REHABILITATING HIGH RISK YOUNG OFFENDERS

对青少年罪犯进行有效改造是社会迫切需要。利用纵向人口数据的数学模型，我们将确定累犯、戒断、健康风险行为和/或发展到注射吸毒的预测因素。我们将与新南威尔士州少年司法部门和新南威尔士州惩教卫生服务机构合作，利用跨理论模型开发和试验以社区为基础的多系统干预措施，以减少再犯罪。该项目将促进对青少年犯罪、其健康和药物滥用模式以及犯罪轨迹的理论理解，从而促进有效的政策和做法，以减少累犯，改善健康，并为有犯罪生涯风险的澳大利亚青年创造亲社会的替代办法。

Effective rehabilitation of young offenders is an urgent social need. Using mathematical modelling of longitudinal population data, we will identify predictors of recidivism, desistance, health risk behaviours, and/or progression to injecting drug use. Collaborating with NSW Department of Juvenile Justice and NSW Corrections Health Service, we will develop and trial community-based multisystemic interventions using the transtheoretical model to reduce re-offending. This project will advance theoretical understanding of juvenile crime, its health and substance abuse patterns, and offence trajectories, thereby facilitating effective policies and practices to reduce recidivism, improve health and create prosocial alternatives for young Australians at risk of a criminal career.
