Socioeconomic circumstances of youth who participated in restorative justice in Nova Scotia, 2009/2010 / by Mary Allen.: CS85-002/40-2E-PDF
"This Juristat article takes advantage of new statistical methods and access to new data sources to provide a more detailed picture of a set of youth in conflict with the law who participated in restorative justice (RJ) in Nova Scotia in 2009/2010. Using administrative data provided by the Nova Scotia Restorative Justice Program (NSRJP), this study looks at their socioeconomic circumstances both at the time of their RJ contact and as they transitioned into adulthood. In particular, the analysis examines the educational attainment of these youth, their family circumstances, employment and other sources of income, as well as selected experiences with the health system. In addition, the study takes a gender-based approach to identify important differences in the circumstances of the young men and women who participated in RJ. It should be noted that this study was restricted by the nature of available data on youth in conflict with the law: data was only available for offenders referred to restorative justice; information on a full cohort of youth in conflict with the law was not available"--Page 3.
