Mr. Eddie D'Arcy:

Most youth workers now adopt a trauma-informed approach. Deputy Stanton knows from his time in the Department of Justice that all young people who end up before the courts and incarcerated have come from a generation of trauma. They have all been excluded from school at an early age. They all have mental health issues and issues with exclusion, even within their own communities. This is something we are fairly aware of in trying understand how people might see us. There is a reason behind very challenging behaviour. If we are going to be able to manage it, obviously we need to understand the reasons for it. That is not an excuse for poor behaviour; it is an explanation for poor behaviour. Deputy Stanton is aware of that.
