Hi there. It looks like your book chapter is coming along nicely. You have chosen a particularly interesting topic and one that is currently being considered in the ACT jurisdiction. There is currently debate as to the raising of the age of criminal responsibility from 10 years to 14 years. This might be useful in discussing the topic of juvenile delinquency and motivation. I have included the link to the discussion paper put forward by the Attorney-General of the ACT: https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/hdp.au.prod.app.act-yoursay.files/4516/2433/2390/Discussion_Paper_-_FINAL.pdf

Hi! I can see you're getting close to your word count, but I feel like your final sections would benefit from touching on the tendency for juvenile offenders to reoffend if they are jailed. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11126-014-9296-4 is a really good review of relatively current literature on the topic, and while this particular review is based on america, similar findings have been found across quite a lot of European and some South-Asian countries, which might help your piece relate to a wider audience.

Overall, this is a rich chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
The main area for potential improvement is in the quality of written expression.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
Some relevant research is reviewed. Ideally, more indepth research about the application of the theories to the problem could be incorporated.
Tables 2 to 3 aren't really needed because they don't address a focus question or the sub-title question; perhaps just summarise key statistics in text early on (e.g,. in the Overview), to allow more scope for reviewing research in relation to the theories.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[3] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
Avoid overly emotive language (e.g,. incredibly) in science-based communication.
Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
APA style
Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.# No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Poll is an excellent idea. Any way to show the results? (There are polling tools that can do this).

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The chapter title but not the sub-title is used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A written description of the presentation is not provided.
