Youth crime is concentrated in poor areas because social processes undermine positive development. Family support is widely used in these areas but its crime prevention value is unclear. This project analyses how such services offered by the Pathways to Prevention Project enhanced child and parent wellbeing. It uses interviews, records and case studies, and a longitudinal database of 4858 children aged 4 to 12 years that link Project participation with parent and child outcomes, including youth justice record, to model pathways from preschool for participants and matched non-participants. By situating pathways in the context of systemic barriers facing families, teachers and agency staff, the project will advance prevention theory and practice.

青年犯罪集中在贫困地区，因为社会进程破坏了积极的发展。家庭支助在这些领域得到广泛使用，但其预防犯罪的价值尚不清楚。该项目分析了预防途径项目提供的这些服务如何提高儿童和父母的福祉。它使用访谈，记录和案例研究，以及4858名4至12岁儿童的纵向数据库，将项目参与与父母和儿童的结果联系起来，包括青年司法记录，为参与者和匹配的非参与者建立从学前班的路径模型。该项目将在家庭、教师和机构工作人员面临的系统性障碍的背景下确定各种途径，从而推进预防理论和实践。
