The youth conduct orders restrict the behavior and movement of a young person and direct them to perform certain tasks or activities to reduce their risk of offending. Its goal is to figure out the reasons why a juvenile might be committing offences, such as difficulties they may be having at school, at home, or what their outside influences are. In order for the YOA personnel do this, assistance is needed by the police, Juvenile Justice, the Department of Education and Training, and NSW Health (Legal Aid Youth, 2009). Although in Australia their primary punishment for youth offenders is through two distinctive programs they are not shy of handing out harsher punishments when deemed fit.
