ANNOTATION: “This paper is concerned with the growing body of evidence, both in Australia … and overseas that identifies oral language competence as a key competency that needs to be acquired early in life, so that important interpersonal, academic and vocational goals can be achieved in pro-social ways and the risk of offending behaviour can be reduced” (p. 1). Sections of this publication cover: what oral language competence is and why it matters; what the literature tells us about early psycho-social risk and language development; the international literature on the language skills of young offenders; implications related to early identification of high-risk boys, interventions within juvenile justice, forensic interviewing, and Restorative Justice Conferencing (RJC); and the future.
