The
National Youth Policing Model aims to reduce, prevent and respond to youth violence and anti-social behaviour.
The model supports and enhances programs already in place through 6 high-priority strategies for youth policing. All Australian police ministers agreed to the model in July 2010.
Jurisdictions have the flexibility to adapt responses to youth policing issues to suit local environments. The model supports the National Strategy for Young Australians, which identified youth violence and anti-social behaviour as key concerns for young people.
