Publications
Newrisk Limited's principal adviser, Dr Leivesley, has been cited in numerous publications on education & training issues, including:
- 'Eurim Digital Policy Alliance: Discussion Meeting on Recent Developments in Child Internet Safety', chaired by Diana Johnson MP (Shadow Minister for Home Affairs) in House of Commons, London, 22 January 2014: transcript availale here.
- Positive Ways to Deal with Juvenile Offenders - (Anonymous), Woman's Day (3 March 1986): "It appears juveniles are less likely to commit other offences if, after their first offence, they are kept out of the court system. This interesting finding has come from a study of 18,000 juveniles who have committed offences over a 10-year period. The study was instigated by the Queensland Police and the Criminology Research Council, the research branch of the Australian Institute of Criminology, and conducted by independent research consultant Dr Sally Leivesley. The purpose was to get an objective evaluation of Queensland's Juvenile Aid Bureau, or JAB as it is known."
- Seminars on Child Health - (Anonymous), The Westside News (Queensland) (27 March 1985): "The Child Health Department at the Queensland University will offer a training programme to parents and health care professionals on the practical and technical aspects of caring for children from infancy to adolescence. The series of seminars is believed to be the most comprehensive of its type held in Brisbane and could lead to a regular programme of tuition for parents and others involved in the raising and caring of children. Organiser, Dr Sally Leivesley, said the programme was a timely source of advice..."
- One-Parent Kids at Risk - by Sharon Molloy, The Daily Sun (Queensland) (23 March 1985); "Children from single-parent families are more likely to come into contact with police than those from families with both parents, a Brisbane social scientist has found. But most juvenile offenders changed their problem behaviour after the age of 15 or 16. These were among the finding in a report by Dr Sally Leivesley on the work of the Queensland police Juvenile Aid Bureau."
- University Runs Child-Care Course - (Anonyymous), The Courier Mail (19 March 1985): "The Queensland University Child Health Department has organised a training program aimed at parents and health-care professionals to teach practical and technical aspects of child-care from infancy to adolescence. Organiser Dr Sally Leivesley said the program would be a timely source of advice and opportunity for discussion for parents, who often felt daunted by the prospects of guiding their children through their early lives."
- Report Picks Young Criminals - by David Ross, The Sunday Mail (Queensland) (17 March 1985): "Teenage children of single fathers are five times more likely to commit a crime than the offspring of two-parent families, according to a confidential police report on juvenile crime in Brisbane...Dr Sally Leivesley, the Brisbane consultant social scientist who prepared the final report for the Queensland Police Department, said it showed that the Juvenile Aid Bureau has had an 'outstanding success rate'. 'When you look at the 7.6 percent recidivism rate for Queensland - compared with an average rate of about 30 percent overseas - our Juvenile Aid Bureau is doing extremely well.'"
- Early Teens 'The Age of Temptation' - (Anonymous), Daily Telegraph (Sydney) (20 January 1985): "Chlidren are most vulnerable to crime at the ages of 13 and 14, according to a comprehensive Queensland study. Research consultant Dr Sally Leivesley surveyed 18,000 juveniles who came into contact with the Queensland Police between 1970 and 1980."
- Police Act 'on Minority' of Child Abuses - by David Fagan, The Courier Mail (Queensland) (16 October 1984): "Police took action in fewer than a quarter of reported child abuse cases in Brisbane last year, a criminologist's study shows...The study, 'The Police Role in Child Protection in Queensland' was prepared by Dr Sally Leivesley for the Police Department and the Criminology Research Council."
- If They Can Save Just One Child - by Tony Barrass, The Sunday Mail (Queensland) (4 December 1983): "Queensland Police have re-opened files on 20,000 juveniles to curb the increase in crime and abuse involving children...Researcher, Dr Sally Leivesley, was appointed study head and would report to the Police Commissioner within 12 months...The police department welcomed the announcement and agreed to assist Dr Leivesley."
