This report identifies and describes effective practice in juvenile justice. The report reviews important
international and Australian juvenile justice systems and draws from the ‘what works’ literature to evaluate
a range of programs, as well as traditional penal and ‘get tough’ programs including juvenile incarceration.
Specific issues of reducing Indigenous overrepresentation, and realising and coordinating whole-ofcommunity
action are also discussed. The report will be used to build a comprehensive evidence base
from Australia and overseas in order to test current practice and new ideas in the NSW context. (excerpt)
