• IntroductionChapter 1: Historical and contemporary contexts of out-of-home careChapter 2: Care-experience, trauma, Abuse and the criminal justice systemChapter 3: The residential care environmentChapter 4: Policing children with care experienceChapter 5 Lawyers, cultural competence and advising children with care experienceChapter 6: Care-experienced children in the NSW Children’s CourtChapter 7: Gender and criminalisation Chapter 8: Reducing criminalisation: innovations from England and WalesConclusion: 'hope tropes' and routine criminalisation

"Children, Care, and Crime: Trauma and Transformation takes an in-depth look at the experiences ofthose with care experience in the criminal justice system in an Australian jurisdiction and childreninvolved 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.
