  • Youth Engagement and the Age of Majority (2007)
    (i) WHO Youth Engagement and COUNTS?: the Age of Majority Rachel French Murdoch University Public Sector Intern December 2007 99714 Who Counts? - Youth Engagement and the Age of Majority FOREWORD The Western Australian Electoral Commission exists to provide quality, innovative and accountable electoral services every time for all Western Australians. Functions of the Electoral Commissioner include promoting research into and public awareness of electoral matters, and publishing material on these matters. Given these roles, in 2007 the Commission was pleased to sponsor a public sector intern for a research project that may inform and advise Members of Parliament, the Government, departments and authorities of the State, and others interested in youth electoral engagement, participatory citizenship and public involvement in decision- making. As noted by the Deputy Electoral Commissioner, Ms Lyn Sirkett, in her 2006 Public Sector Fellowship paper, the legitimacy of representative government mandates and the practicality of implementing public policy are affected by the extent of this engagement. The opportunity to participate is a key to democratic maturity, and is evident in growing calls for a ‘youth voice’ across Australia. But opportunity alone is unlikely to fully engage electors. Civic and electoral education is also vital. The enfranchisement of young people, and extending the idea of democracy as lived experience, is crucial to the democratic activity of voting. As this paper concludes, changing the voting age needs to be addressed alongside democratic processes in the lives of young people, through genuine inclusion and participation and civic discussion in the Western Australian context. Ms French’s paper makes a valid contribution to a debate on lowering the voting age, for example in supporting optional voting for electors under 18 who are provisionally enrolled, as one element of youth engagement.

Witt Committee Members, Corliss Outley Manda Rosser Head of Department, David Scott May 2008 Major Subject: Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences iii ABSTRACT Fostering Youth Engagement: A Model of Youth Voice, Empowerment, and Participation. (May 2008) Karen Kimberly Maynard, B.S., University of South Alabama Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Peter A. Witt Youth-adult partnerships are collaborations between adults and youth in the decision-making and planning processes. When adults enable youth to be a part of the decision-making and planning processes, youth voice, empowerment, and participation become important tools for facilitating engagement. Better understanding these processes can be beneficial for practitioners and programmers. Incorporating these tools increases support and opportunity for youth developmental benefits and increases program retention rates. This thesis focuses on better understanding the relationship between youth voice, empowerment, and participation and critical factors in developing youth engagement and utilizing the power of adult-youth partnerships in youth development.

  • Examining & Unpacking Oppression Packet
    EXAMINING / UNPACKING OPPRESSION AND HOW IT IS PRESENT IN OUR VIOLENCE & ABUSE PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION WORK: WHAT TO EXPECT This resource packet was created by The Oregon Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Task Force's (SATF) Prevention and Education Subcommittee (PEC). SATF's mission is to advance a multi-disciplinary, survivor- centered approach to the prevention of and response to violence and abuse in Oregon. Our goal is to prevent violence from happening in the first place, while simultaneously improving our response efforts to mitigate trauma and ensure the safety and security of all people. The purpose of PEC is to define and promote abuse and violence prevention by engaging in activities to increase awareness of prevention strategies, and to provide support, guidance and training relating to prevention and education. In order to prevent abuse and violence before it occurs, efforts must focus on the root causes. To that end, we believe that addressing the connections between oppression and abuse and violence is an essential part of prevention work. This resource packet was informed by numerous voices around the state, including folks working in child abuse response and prevention, domestic and sexual violence response and prevention, health care settings, law enforcement and criminal justice partners, advocates, educators and more. This includes voices represented on SATF's Medical Forensic, Advocacy Response, Offender Management, Legislative & Public Policy, and Criminal Justice subcommittees. This packet includes two complementary resources: Examining Oppression in Child Abuse: Unpacking Oppression as a Root Cause of Abuse, Neglect and Violence This includes a case example to explore the ways oppression is present in child abuse intervention and prevention efforts in Oregon.
