Child victims: Providing protection from re-victimisation and offending

该项目旨在提高对虐待儿童、忽视儿童和儿童遭受家庭暴力对年轻人今后重新犯罪和犯罪经历的影响的认识。它预计将产生新的证据，说明增加青年重新犯罪和犯罪风险的虐待经历、可能加剧或缓冲儿童免受这些有害影响的潜在因果机制和因素。预期成果包括增加知识，为有效的政策和干预措施提供信息，以查明有风险的儿童，满足青年人与不利的法律的结果有关的需求。这应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.
