This report looked at young Albertans (12 to 25 years old) that had youth corrections involvement between 2005/06 and 2010/11. Analyses examined these individuals’ sociodemographic characteristics, public service use patterns, and court outcomes. This report found that (1) 1% of youth had corrections involvement in a given year (7,027 to 9,682 a year from 2005/06 to 2010/11), a higher proportion of corrections-involved youth were: male, lived in the lowest socioeconomic status neighbourhoods, moved one or more times, were high cost health users, used social services and were students with special needs than those with no corrections involvement, (2) youth involved with corrections were less likely to achieve academically than those with no corrections involvement, and (3) court outcomes varied by demographic group. These findings provide policy-relevant evidence that service providers may consider as they seek to better support youth with corrections involvement.engUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
