This course will be offered in an intensive format during this period - Monday June 5 - to Thursday June 8 and Tuesday June 13 to Friday June 16. Like elsewhere in the world, the overwhelming majority of all recorded crime in Australia is committed by young people and the question of how best to respond has been the subject of significant and ongoing debate in criminology. This course will introduce students to developmental criminology as a foundation for understanding the causes and correlates of youth offending and antisocial behaviour across the life-course. It explores the experience of young people as participants of a criminal justice system shaped by competing historical, theoretical and political debates about how best to achieve the seemingly impossible balance between child protection, treatment and punishment.
