Abstract: On 11 November 2010, the Department of Human Services NSW - Juvenile Justice and the Sydney Institute of Criminology hosted a seminar that considered the facts of juvenile offending. One major theme emerging from this seminar was the continued over-representation of young Aboriginal people in the juvenile justice system. The next seminar in this series of events focusing on youth crime and juvenile justice explored in detail the issues associated with Aboriginal young people and crime. Consideration was given to the reasons for this continued over-representation, while also highlighting promising programs and community-based initiatives.
