A micro-simulation model of the Queensland juvenile justice system
National Criminal Justice Modelling Workshop: 2003
Presenter: Michael Livingston, Statistician, Office of Economical & Statistical Research, Queensland Treasury
Overview of presentation:
Griffith University and the Office of Economic and Statistical research have built a simulation model of the Queensland juvenile justice system. The model has been developed to accurately but parsimoniously simulate the flow of offenders through the system and the systemic responses to different offenders. Of particular importance to the model development was the accurate representation of the court decision and of reoffending behaviour.
Incorporated in the model is the facility to include targeted intervention programs of three broad types: crime prevention (including situational, developmental and community), diversion and criminal justice program. This functionality can be used to simulate the impact of proposed crime reduction programs and numerous scenarios have already been tested using the model. The presentation will involve a brief description of the model and its development and the presentation of a number of simulated scenarios and their outcomes.
