Funded Activity Summary

Gender differences in the prevention of youth victimisation and offending. This project aims to investigate how early family, individual, and school factors can be targeted to prevent victimisation and offending among vulnerable male and female young people. This project expects to generate new knowledge on: 1) gender-specific risk and protective factors of victimisation and offending; and, 2) the effectiveness of school-based social-emotional learning programs for males and females. Expected outcomes include advancing developmental life-course theories for female offending. This project should provide significant social and economic benefits for policymakers on how to most effectively prevent male and female young people’s involvement with the criminal justice system.
