🌟 **Reforming Youth Justice: A Fresh Perspective for Change** 🌟 Youth justice isn't just about punishment; it's about understanding and growth. We must reflect on the motivations behind young people's actions and advocate for meaningful reform that addresses the root causes of their behavior. Current systems often fail, emphasizing flaws that perpetuate cycles of crime and hardship. By sharing young people's stories, we can humanize these experiences and inspire communities to unite for a more compassionate approach. Together, let's create a system that prioritizes rehabilitation and empowers our youth to thrive! 💪✨ #YouthJustice #Reform #EmpowerYouth

In his blog Jack identifies the four keys to success: collaborating with the target group, identifying the appropriate questions, professionally designing the questionnaire, and safeguarding the respondents.
