Australian Centre of Excellence for Youth Justice
Australia spends $1.14 billion locking up roughly 860 young people on the average day. The community-led response costs a tenth of that and reaches four times more young people. JusticeHub holds both pictures in one place — searchable, source-cited, contributable.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people are 20 times more likely to be under youth justice supervision than non-Indigenous young people. The systems that should support communities to do this work have been treating community-led organisations as an afterthought.
Across all of Australian foundation philanthropy we track, 1.46% reaches Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations. Of the youth-justice-specific share, it's 8.46% — still well below parity. Government runs programs it announces as community-led but only delivers the label to a handful.

Every claim on JusticeHub has a citation trail. The triangulation framework means a claim earns its headline only when multiple independent datasets agree.
We classify claims as Triangulated (3+ sources) or Corroborated (2 sources). Sources include:
Where claims have lower confidence we say so. The data-quality audit at /intelligence/civic/data-quality shows where the gaps are.
Live data inventory
A research agent runs every night looking for more sources to close the gaps we name. A freshness watcher catches sources that have not been refreshed. A health probe catches URLs that have gone offline. The system reconsiders "do we have enough" continuously, not just on demand.
JusticeHub is open infrastructure. The data, the schemas, and the methodology are public. The Australian Centre of Excellence for Youth Justice is what gets built when we hold both the data and the people in one place.
