Gap Analysis of Research Literature on Issues Related to Street-Involved Youth

This report is part of the Research and Statistics Division's on-going commitment to further explore the results of the Deputy Minister’s symposium on access to justice and identify key issues that relate to this important policy area. One area of examination is access to (social) justice for street involved youth. Access to justice barriers for this population include much more than access to the formal legal system (e.g. access to housing, education, employment and health services). To help understand the various "access" issues experienced by street involved youth, the Division commissioned a review of the literature in this area to examine the state of knowledge and research needs. The results of this report will assist the Division and other interested partners in identifying possible research projects on street-involved youth. (excerpt from the source)
