Item Open Access An Environmental Scan of Best Practices in Supporting Persistent Youth Offenders in the Transition to Adulthood(Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family., 2011) Costello, M.Y.; MacRae-Krisa, L.The purpose of this study was to understand how persistent youth offenders in Alberta can be best supported as they transition into adulthood. In addition, this report intended to name best and promising practices in North America and internationally by considering programs and services that address the risk factors and needs that a persistent youth offender faces during the transition age. The objectives of this project were to: (1) Establish an understanding of the risk factors present among persistent youth offenders as they transition to adulthood; (2) Establish an understanding of the needs of persistent youth offenders as they transition to adulthood; and (3) Determine best practice in supporting persistent youth offenders as they transition to adulthood. In order to address these objectives, two research methodologies were employed. First, a literature review was conducted to establish the risk factors present among persistent youth offenders in their transition to adulthood, as well as their specific needs during this time. Second, an environmental scan was conducted in North America and internationally to identify best and promising practices that support persistent, transition-aged youth offenders as they progress into adulthood.Item Metadata only Evaluation of the Elder Abuse Response Team: Formative Evaluation Report(Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family.

The overall objectives of the study are to understand the factors that differentiate persistent youth offenders who offend into adulthood from those who do not, understand these factors in a developmental context, and provide focussed information to develop and improve multisectoral prevention and intervention initiatives. The objectives of the first stage of the study are as follows: (1) To establish an understanding of the risk factors for persistent offenders and youth offending trajectories by reviewing the relevant literature; (2) To develop a retrospective profile of individual, family, peer, community and school factors for a sample of persistent offenders in Alberta; and (3) To develop a preliminary retrospective profile of offending for the sample.Item Restricted Pathways and Transitions of Persistent Youth Offenders in Alberta: Final Report(Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family, 2014-03-01) MacRae-Krisa, L.; Bertrand, L.D.; Paetsch, J.J.; Rinquist, L.This report summarizes the findings of a four-year study of pathways and transitions of persistent youth offenders in Alberta. The overall objectives of the study were to understand the factors that differentiate persistent youth offenders who offend into adulthood from persistent youth offenders who desist, understand these factors in a developmental context, and provide focussed information to develop and improve multi-sectoral prevention and intervention initiatives.
