“Aboriginal youth in central Australia are some of the most criminalised young people on the planet.”
Dr Lora Chapman has been a social worker for over 14 years, traveling around the world observing and supporting many different youth communities. Her recent field work in Alice Springs and Central Australia highlights some interesting findings around indigenous youth, culture clashes and the challenges that occur in this particular community.

She also recently wrote an article on the curfew in Alice Springs. You can access it here. You can also see her early work here.
