Abstract
Description
This research studied ways of improving the measurement of effectiveness in the Irish youth justice
system. The research presents case study analyses of data collection processes used to measure
effectiveness in seven youth justice systems – the states of Washington and Pennsylvania in the USA,
The Netherlands, England and Wales, Sweden, Scotland, and Ireland. It describes the factors identified
as important in shaping data collection processes and system measurement in youth justice.
The study utilised two data gathering methodologies. First, published governmental and available
administrative ‘grey’ material and relevant research literature were assessed in order to identify and
examine youth justice data and collection processes in systems. Second, interviews with youth justice
experts in international systems and the Irish system gathered primary data. Experts were questioned
about the operation of youth justice in their jurisdiction, particularly in terms of system effectiveness and
its measurement, the data collection and reporting processes implemented, and the outcomes achieved
for children and youth.
