Australian Institute of Criminology - Indigenous Justice Research Program
A collaborative throughcare model for reducing the over-representation of Australian Indigenous youth living in remote and rural Northern Australia.
- Indicative Funding
- $181,818 over 2 years
- Summary
- There is an increase in the numbers of young Indigenous people involved in a cycle of reoffending behaviour. Research states that breaking the cycle of crime can be achieved through programmes that address the drivers of crime particularly when young people leave detention and re-enter their communities. However, there are challenges to providing a coordinated approach of throughcare due to the ?siloization? of services particularly in remote and rural Indigenous communities. The proposed research will attempt to address these challenges by conducting community- based research leading to development of a model of throughcare beginning when young people enter detention to when they re-enter their communities. The resultant community model based throughcare model will identify, engage and divert Indigenous young people living in remote communities from further offending by better health outcomes.

Youth Research Grants Program
- Indicative Funding
- $200,000 over 1 year
- Summary
- The Youth Research Grants Program aims to stimulate interest in research which reflects the needs and views of young people through enabling them to be involved in setting priorities for and selection of research projects. The Program supports the vision set out in the Queensland Youth Strategy (QYS) that promotes young people?s active contribution to Queensland's economic, civic and cultural life. This project aims to engage with young people (17?24-year-olds) in north and far north Queensland currently studying at James Cook University (JCU), to provide an opportunity to share their thoughts, concerns, dreams and desires, and to provide inspiration for a JCU-led research project with and for youth with a focus on wellbeing, future aspirations, concerns and potential solutions to urgent issues. The project would focus on JCU discipline areas of Social Work, Sociology, Education and Creative Arts, with an intention for young people to develop and present art works- and in particular visual and wearable art- expressing their concerns and aspirations. Please refer to the Project Proposal for full details of the Project?s timing and objectives.

An Evaluation of the SPACE and PLACE Programme in Cairns
- Indicative Funding
- $100,000 over 2 years
- Summary
- The SPACE and PLACE programme is a pilot programme developed and trialled in the western suburbs of Ciarns which are characterised by low socia-economic status and high rates of criminal activity. The programme consists of a suite of initiatives based on physical activity based programmes offered by external providers which are aimed at young people and their familites. The pilot programme is one of several place based initiatives rolled out across Queensland and aims to enhance community well-being, family relationships and address some of the factors which contribute to youth crime by delivering targeted physical activities and enhancing social connectedness and liveability in the region. The proposed 2-year evaluation of the programme consist of a number of data collection techniques such as surveys, social connectedness scales and small foc us groups to ascertain the effectiveness of the programmes in achieving its major goals.
