Project
The Research Evidence into Policy, Programmes and Practice (REPPP) project will: Identify administrative data holdings kept by government departments, state agencies and non-governmental bodies who are stakeholders in the youth justice system; Develop proposals for securing data in stakeholder agencies’ administrative databases; Develop analytical tools and frameworks for interrogating data linked to policy questions relating to effectiveness and efficiency in youth justice; Produce a pilot youth justice system performance report; Identify data gaps in the youth justice system; and Propose practical reforms for youth justice data collection and reporting.
By improving the quality of useable evidence available to policymakers and stakeholders within the youth justice system, this project aims to contribute toward the development of more effective interventions with young people coming into conflict with the law and to safer communities in Ireland. The project is linked to SDG 16; Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. More specifically the project refers to the following targets within this SDG 16.1 Significantly reduce all forms of violence and related death rates everywhere[1]
