Creating Safer Communities: Addressing Risky Behaviour in Young People Through Self-Regulation

年轻人会对是否从事危险行为做出选择。如果他们真的从事危险行为，这可能导致犯罪、自我伤害或死亡。这个项目调查：(I)年轻人的决策和危险行为的后果，以及(Ii)促进积极生活方式选择的自我调节干预的有效性。该计划为高危青少年提供长期的预防方法，并为罪犯提供其他治疗方法，从而为政府各部门提供综合和协调的预防犯罪方法。该项目符合政府对更安全、更支持社区的承诺，以减少青少年犯罪。

Young people make choices about whether to engage in risky behaviours. If they do engage in risky behaviours, this can result in delinquency, self-harm, or death. This project examines: (i) young people's decision-making and the consequences of risky behaviour, and (ii) the effectiveness of a self-regulatory intervention that promotes positive lifestyle choices. The project provides an integrated and co-ordinated approach to crime prevention across government departments by offering long-term preventative solutions for at-risk adolescents and alternative treatments for offenders. The project is consistent with Government commitments to safer, more supportive communities to reduce youth crime.
