This document presents the proceedings from an Australasian conference on youth justice, held in Wellington in October 1998. The presentations cover many topics of interest, from education and health for young people at risk, to specific prevention programmes, victims' issues and research. Among a myriad of presenters, New Zealand judges, professionals, and researchers provide discussion on what the research shows regarding youth justice, what crime prevention strategies have produced, and the makings of family group conferences. Anti-violence initiatives, early intervention work with families at risk, and social workers in schools, are covered in the presentations.
