Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) report
Young people aged 10-17 who were in the child protection system in 2013-14, were more likely to be under youth justice supervision at some time in the same year, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The report, Young people receiving child protection services and under youth justice supervision 2013-14, shows that young people who were the subject of care and protection orders in 2013-14 were 23 times as likely as the general population to be under youth justice supervision (either in detention or under community-based supervision) at some time in that year (although not necessarily at the same time).
