The over-representation of children from child protection backgrounds in the youth justice system is a significant and longstanding concern. This report presents selected findings of a detailed case file audit of 300 crossover children appearing before the Victorian Children’s Court in 2016–17.

This study is a collaboration between Monash University and the Children’s Court of Victoria. The study set out to examine the extent to which children and young people before the Criminal Division of the Victorian Children’s Court were also clients of the statutory Child Protection system, and to better understand the characteristics of this group.

This design guide outlines a scheme for a new architectural model for youth justice facilities in Victoria. It aims to make good design principles concrete, so that the designs of future facilities might have the benefit of a best-practice evidence base.
