Youth remand question
What happens when the justice question is linked more directly to welfare, rights, and local accountability?
Scotland/UK is a strong legal and policy comparison, but the report should separate Scotland-specific practice from broader UK material.
Relevant models to compare
- Children's hearings / welfare pathway to source
- Youth justice service model to source
- Community accountability model to source
What Australia can learn
- How hearings, welfare, and rights frameworks alter the remand conversation.
- How to build public legitimacy for alternatives before crisis moments.
Next field workflow
- Split Scotland and UK source packets if needed
- Identify lead legal/policy partners
- Add model comparison cards

The Adelaide experience starts with feeling. The remand vertical shows the Australian evidence. Country reports widen the imagination without exposing private field notes or unsupported claims.
