In approaching this task, the Review consulted widely including representatives from NSW agencies, academia, the Non-Government sector, other jurisdictions and with members of the Government and Opposition. Members of the public also made a range of submissions that were considered by the Review. The Review spoke with young people who were caught up in the juvenile justice system – this provided a very different perspective. A key task of the Review Team was the development of an evidence base to understand leading practice in Australia and overseas. This report consequently provides a comprehensive description of juvenile justice more broadly and more specifically about how it operates in NSW. (excerpt) The incorporation and use of restorative processes are discussed in the report.
