"Crossover" Children in the Youth Justice and Child Protection
Systems explores the outcomes faced by the group of children who
experience involvement with both child protection and youth justice
systems across several countries, including the United States,
United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Situated
against a backdrop of international evidence and grounded in a
two-year study with the Children's Court in Victoria, Australia,
this book presents a cohesive picture of the backgrounds,
characteristics, and pathways traversed by crossover children. It
presents statistical data from 300 crossover Children's Court case
files, alongside the expert evidence of 82 professionals, to
generate a comprehensive picture of the lives of crossover
children, and the individual and systemic challenges that they
face. The book investigates the crucial question of why some
children involved with child welfare systems experience
particularly poor criminal justice outcomes, demonstrating how the
convergence of cumulative childhood adversity, complex support
needs, and systemic disadvantage produces acutely damaging outcomes
for some crossover youth. It outlines the implications of the
study, including how these findings might shape diversion and
differential justice system responses to child protection-involved
youth, and the innovative approaches adopted internationally to
avert the care to custody pathway. This book is internationally
relevant and will be of great interest to students and scholars of
criminology and law, social work, psychology, and sociology, as
well as legal, welfare, and government agencies and policy
developers, non-government peak bodies and services, professional
probation services, case managers, health and mental health
services, disability and drug treatment agencies, and others who
work with both young offenders and the design and implementation of
policy and legislation.
