This webinar aims to provide insights into children’s offending behaviour and justice system contact from an inequalities perspective. It draws on research evidence from several major longitudinal datasets - the Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime (ESYTC), the Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) study and the Queensland Cross-sector Research Collaboration (QCRC) – to explore aspects of inequality in relation to children’s offending behaviour and their long-term justice journeys.
