Children, Care and Crime Trauma and Transformation

"Children, Care, and Crime: Trauma and Transformation takes an in-depth look at the experiences of
those with care experience in the criminal justice system in an Australian jurisdiction and children
involved in the youth justice system. The authors effectively revealed the impact of the intergenerational trauma caused by colonisation policies such as criminalization and forced expulsion from families and communities, as well as evaluating the gender understanding of historical approaches to care that included specialised institutions for girls and women in a cross-sectoral framework to concentrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and adults.

Overall, this book is recommended to read. This book provides readers with an understanding of the historical context and contemporary social realities of criminalization using an intersectional lens that enables structural determinants to be considered together, including indigenousness, gender, and disability.
