Youth justice is a complex and often challenging field, where the needs of young people can vary greatly depending on their circumstances.

Bowen argues that evidence-led decisions are crucial in addressing the persistent issues within the youth justice system and closing the gap to ensure fairness. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique challenges faced by young people, and using data-driven insights to inform policies and interventions that better meet their needs.
