Understanding recidivism and repeat incarceration among young male offenders: a biographical and longitudinal approach

这项研究的重点是澳大利亚每年犯罪最多的罪犯群体。关于安全护理、释放和监禁的个人经历的纵向定性数据的产生，将为每个州和地区的青少年犯罪和监禁领域的经验驱动政策和辩论提供基础。因此，社会将通过产生新的可能性来干预持续犯罪和重复监禁的循环而受益。这具有重大的社会、文化和经济影响。

The research focuses on the group of offenders who, as a cohort, annually commit the most crime within Australia. The production of longitudinal qualitative data about individual experiences of secure care, release, and imprisonment, will provide a foundation for empirically driven policies and debates in the area of youth crime and incarceration for each state and territory. Accordingly, the community will benefit through the generation of new possibilities for intervening in cycles of persistent offending and repeat custodial sentences. This has major social, cultural and economic implications.
