Child victims: Providing protection from re-victimisation and offending

这个项目旨在提高人们对儿童虐待、忽视和家庭暴力对青少年未来再次受害和犯罪经历的影响的认识。它希望产生新的证据，证明虐待经历会增加青少年再次受害和犯罪的风险，潜在的因果机制和可能加剧或缓冲儿童免受这些有害影响的因素。预期的成果包括增加知识，为有效的政策和干预措施提供信息，以确定有风险的儿童，并满足年轻人在不利法律结果方面的需求。这将有助于改善公共安全，减少虐待的经济影响，并支持弱势儿童茁壮成长。

This project aims to improve understanding of the impact of child abuse, neglect and exposure to domestic violence on young people’s future experiences of re-victimisation and offending. It expects to generate new evidence about the maltreatment experiences that increase risk of youth re-victimisation and offending, potential causal mechanisms and factors that might aggravate or buffer children from these harmful effects. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge to inform effective policy and interventions aimed at identifying at-risk children and meeting young people’s needs related to adverse legal outcomes. This should help improve public safety, reduce the economic impact of maltreatment and support vulnerable children to thrive.
