This highlights the fact that children and youth in vulnerable situations who slip through the government’s protection system can easily become "crossover children/youth105" who wind up traversing the social welfare and justice systems.

Crossover children/youth - also referred to as crossover kids, joint cases, dual-system served, dual order, dually involved, etc. - are children and youth who are at risk due to both delinquency and social welfare issues or who are already traversing the welfare system and judicial system. There have been many international studies on the issues faced by crossover children/youth; for example: (1) the Child Welfare Information Gateway established by the United States Children's Bureau (https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/systemwide/youth/collaboration/dualsystem/); (2) the Crossover Youth Practice Model developed in 2010 by Georgetown University’s Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (https://cjjr.georgetown.edu/our-work/crossover-youth-practice-model/) Between 11.2% and 13.9%. 68
