The purpose of this research was to examine the overlap between the Youth Justice (YJ) and the Child Protection (CP) systems in Australia, and profile selected characteristics of children and young people who have YJ and CP system involvement. In this report, young people born between 1991 and 1998 were included since they had data for their entire YJ eligibility period, from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2016. Young people born between 1991 and 1998 also had CP notifications, investigations, substantiations, orders and out-of-home care (OOHC) placement data for their entire CP eligibility period, from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2016.
