This report is based on peer-led engagement with over 500 young adults across the country. Each section features verbatim quotes from young adults and outlines the main recommendations the advisors have put forward for agencies and decision-makers to consider when shaping the future of the criminal justice system.

The report is intended to act as an unmediated, reflective record of what young adults reported through this peer-to-peer research process. It is also intended to be the starting point for further thought and action on the part of policy-makers and practitioners.
