The study hopes to examine risk and protective factors, the developmental trajectories of various youth offenders, as well as the processes involved in the successful reintegration of these youth into our society. In particular, we recognise that the families and the immediate community play important roles in such rehabilitation and reintegration efforts, hence these will also be a focus in the study.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<h3> Book Chapters<\/h3> <ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/978-3-031-41702-3_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Emotional and Behavioural Problems of Young Offenders in Singapore: Introduction<\/strong><\/a><br \/><em>SpringerBriefs in Criminology.
