Events
1. Approaches to Youth Justice: A Panel Discussion
With all the media coverage surrounding young people in detention, we have decided to host a panel discussion.
The speakers include Tiffany Overall, the policy officer from Youthlaw and Smart Justice for Young People spokesperson, and Christopher Trotter, a professor at Monash University and the Director of the Criminal Justice Research Consortium.
The panel will focus on the current approach to youth justice and the burgeoning concept of justice reinvestment, which encourages tackling the causes of crime and re-directing money spent on prisons into community based initiatives. There will be time for questions at the end.
Time: 5.00pm – 6.15pm
Date: Wednesday 5 April
Venue: Clayton Campus, location TBC.
