17 March 2011On 11 November 2010, the Department of Human Services NSW - Juvenile Justice and the Sydney Institute of Criminology hosted a seminar that considered the facts of juvenile offending.

One major theme emerging from this seminar was the continued over-representation of young Aboriginal people in the juvenile justice system.

The next seminar in this series of events focusing on youth crime and juvenile justice explored in detail the issues associated with Aboriginal young people and crime. Consideration was given to the reasons for this continued over-representation, while also highlighting promising programs and community-based initiatives.

Audio recording of Aboriginal Young People & Crime seminar: Edwina Crawford, Manager, Aboriginal Strategic Coordination Unit, Department of Human Services NSW - Juvenile Justice; Anthony Paulson, Centre Manager, Tirkandi Inaburra; and Bob Debus, Former Minister for Home Affairs in the Australian Government and a former NSW Attorney General
