Youth offending and reoffending
This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
How effective are youth justice services at achieving positive, non-justice outcomes that support desistance from offending? How can we better support youth justice services to share information and coordinate their interventions to provide holistic support?
We want to address the causes of reoffending using personalised evidence, live data, and digital services to better target and sequence interventions. To do this we need to build the evidence base that can inform the development of more holistic measures than ‘proven reoffending’, factoring in a broader range of outcomes.
