Lost Boys Report is ‘Deeply Troubling’

This article reports on a response to the “Lost Boys” report, which raises concerns about boys and young men falling behind across education, employment and social outcomes. It highlights how a prison education expert describes the findings as “deeply troubling,” warning that rising numbers of young men not in education, employment or training could contribute to future increases in crime and incarceration. The piece focuses on the link between early disengagement from education, social exclusion and later involvement in the criminal justice system, and argues for stronger intervention through education, skills development and support for vulnerable young men.
