In this report, we describe ways in which youth justice practitioners in Youth Diversion Projects (YDPs) can use the relationships they build with young people to help divert them from crime.
We present evidence from an Action Research Project (ARP) undertaken with 16 YDP case study sites over three years. Our research examined relationships between youth justice practitioners in Ireland and young people involved in or at risk of involvement in crime.
