JST533 Juvenile Justice for Professionals (8)
Prerequisite: JST532
Enrolment Restriction: JST533 is not available to students who have completed JST215
This subject shows how laws, policies and programs shape the work of practitioners working with young offenders in community and custodial settings, using examples from Australian State and Territory juvenile justice administrations. It shows how research findings can inform practice in community and custodial settings, and places particular emphasis on categories of young people whose involvement in the juvenile justice system raises particular challenges for policy makers and practitioners. Students will apply criminogenic risk assessment and explore emergent interventions.
