Young
people, crime and community safety: engagement and early
intervention
25-26
February 2008
RACV Club Melbourne, Victoria
Young
people are disproportionately involved in risktaking, antisocial
behaviours and other activities which compromise their safety
and the safety of others. They are also highly at risk of
experiencing reduced opportunities in life through the influence
of such factors as low educational attainment, early school
leaving, involvement with the law, low socioeconomic status,
ethnicity and disability.
This
two-day conference, being conducted jointly by the Australian
Institute of Criminology and the Victorian Safe Communities
Network, will explore approaches to integrating evidenced-based
prevention and early intervention strategies to engage young
people as active participants in community safety.
