Strengthening Young Offender Rehabilitation through Mental Wellness

Year Published 2024

The Enhancing Positive Outcomes in Youth and the Community (EPYC) project is a 10-year longitudinal study that follows the psychology and life outcomes of 1,224 young offenders who entered the justice system between 2016 to 2018. This publication shares the prevalence of mental health problems in Singapore’s young offenders and identifies key factors that worsen/improve these problems over time. Relevant social service and government agencies can leverage on these insights to broaden their support frameworks for at-risk youths and young offenders in their care.
