“…The researchers positioned their findings in relation to the professional literature focused on the selected youth work methods (e.g. Batsleer & Davies, 2010;Dickson et al, 2013;Dunne et al, 2014;Jeffs & Smith, 2010;Milburn et al, 2000) and the literature in related professions that work with socially vulnerable youth (such as residential youth care and structured youth programs in the US). For validation, the results were checked by stakeholders via focus groups.…”

Knowledge of how professional youth work might prevent individual and social problems in socially vulnerable youngsters is poorly developed. This article presents a conceptual framework that clarifies the implicit methodical process used by professional youth workers and focuses on what stakeholders regard as the potential of professional youth work as a preventive service. A qualitative research synthesis approach was used to combine the findings of six practice-based studies conducted in six European countries. This synthesis revealed that professional youth workers employ a multi-methodic approach in their prevention efforts, strengthening the social skills and self-mastery of youngsters, reinforcing their social network, enhancing their civic participation and helping them find additional social or health services. Twelve methodic principles were identified as contributing to achieving these prevention efforts, shedding light on the process taking place between youngsters and youth workers. This conceptual framework provides essential information for future evaluation research.

“…The Evidence-Based Policing Matrix is a research-to-practice translation tool that organizes moderate to very rigorous evaluations of police interventions visually, allowing agencies and researchers to view the field of research in this area. (Lum, Koper, & Telep, 2011) EPPI A systematic map is defined as 'a classification and description that aims primarily to illustrate the kinds of studies that exist' (EPPI-Centre, 2007) (Dickson, Vigurs, & Newman, 2013) SCIE Systematic mapping is a transparent technique for describing research literature on a broad topic. A map provides both a searchable database for researchers and policy makers, and a stand-alone piece of work describing the literature on that topic.…”

“…An example of a bibliographic database search is given in Box 2. This search was used in a review that aimed to find studies that investigated the impact of Youth Work on positive youth outcomes (Dickson et al 2013). The search is built using terms for the population of interest (Youth), the intervention of interest (Youth Work) and the outcomes of Interest (Positive Development).…”
