Policing, power and perceptions

Exploring the criminalisation of children's home residents in England. Dr Julie Shaw University of Strathclyde

Government & Nonprofit

 Inappropriate criminalisation
 Policy and practice guidance
 Joint protocols/ Restorative approaches
 Commitments and practice protocols to prevent
unnecessary criminalisation are ‘not working well
enough’ (Schofield et al, 2012, p. 5)

 Case study of English local authority area referred to as
‘Coalton’
 Semi-structured interviews: 32 professionals from care and
youth justice systems
 A focus group of residential care workers
 Themes: reasons why homes involve the police, and
opinions regarding the necessity and desirability of such
intervention.

 It’s not a routine response. It’s a considered response. If that
behaviour is prevalent…it’s all about trying to turn that youngster’s
behaviour to something more appropriate…If you’ve exhausted all
your care practices within the home, then yeah, it’s the right thing to
do. (Children’s Home Manager)
 Once it goes on and on and on and on, there has to be a cut-off point
where you’re showing the child the consequences of their actions and
if they lived out in the real world, when they get out of care, they can’t
carry on like that, and they will be arrested if they cause damage to
anybody else’s property. (Police Officer)
 She just pushed and pushed and pushed, and it was the last resort of
the residential home to say: “We can’t do any more; we need to phone
the police”. (Social Worker)

 I think that it’s sort of a lesson that they’re trying to
teach the other young people…That this is your home,
and while you’re living here, you’re here to look after
it, and if you do damage it, you will be punished.
(Leaving Care Worker)
 That would be at the staff’s discretion, obviously. If
they just slapped them, they might say, “Don’t do it
next time”…It would be the degree of assault. I would
support my staff one hundred per cent. Whatever they
decide, I’d go with. (Children’s Home Manager)

 We clearly do not want to get people involved in the criminal
justice system if at all possible. Then we also have to balance
that with the limited consequences that we can use at the
(home)…I guess we’re not able to do certain things that perhaps
an ordinary parent would be able to do. (Children’s Home
Manager)
 They don’t have any teeth. They’re limited in what they can do
and what they can’t do. (Social Worker)
 The Children Act… they all know what it is…They’ll quote the
rules and regulations: “You can’t do this, and you can’t do that.
You’re not allowed to do that. I’ll get my solicitor”. (Leaving Care
Worker)

 Youth justice system seen as useful and necessary
adjunct to the care system
 Number of interconnected themes predominate
 How such reliance can be effectively challenged?
 Changes to policy, practice and perception

 Thank you for your attention!

This document summarizes the partnership between the NSPCC and two universities to develop and evaluate an intervention for child sexual abuse called Letting the Future In (LTFI). It describes how NSPCC studies found a gap between need for therapeutic services for child sexual abuse victims and what was available. Practitioners then created LTFI which was piloted and implemented. An independent evaluation was commissioned including a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to rigorously evaluate LTFI's effectiveness. Overcoming challenges, the RCT recruited 242 children and was the largest of its kind. It aimed to provide high-quality evidence on LTFI's impact to inform practice and policy.

This document summarizes the findings of an evaluation of the FED UP program, which provides services to families where parents misuse drugs/alcohol. The evaluation found that the program was effective in reducing children's emotional and behavioral problems, improving their self-esteem, helping them process thoughts/feelings, and enhancing protective parenting. Key mechanisms of change included children feeling less alone and parents gaining insight into how their behavior impacts children. Barriers to the program included issues with group composition and family instability. The implications discussed expanding the program's reach and using data to improve outcomes for children.

Young People's Perspectives on Recognising and Telling about Abuse and Neglect

This document summarizes a study on young people's perspectives on recognizing and disclosing abuse and neglect. The study included a literature review, analysis of an online peer support site, and interviews with 30 vulnerable young people aged 11-20. It developed a framework for understanding how young people recognize, tell about, and get help for abuse, which influences practitioners. The framework shows recognition, telling, and help can be partial, hidden, signs-based, or purposeful. It also examines how related interventions can help symptoms or underlying causes, and influence trust, effectiveness, and duration of support over time. The implications are that practitioners should not rely on verbal disclosure, be sensitive to the challenges of telling, and see that recognition may come

WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE DISCLOSURE ACROSS THE DE...

This document summarizes a study comparing narratives of child sexual abuse disclosure between young people and adults. It found that young people were more likely to disclose due to a "pressure cooker effect" of emotions building up over time or being directly asked about signs of distress. In contrast, adults were more likely to blame themselves for the abuse and believed telling would make the situation worse. The study highlights the importance of creating an environment where children feel believed and supported to disclose abuse.

No One Noticed, No One Heard

The document summarizes a study that examined informal and formal support structures for young people who experienced child abuse. 53 young women and 7 young men between ages 18-24 who reported extensive victimization were interviewed. On average, it took 7.8 years to disclose experiences of child sexual abuse. Most initial disclosures were to informal sources like family and friends. Barriers to disclosure included lack of knowledge that the abuse was wrong and lack of trusted adults. Missed opportunities for intervention were identified at the individual, family, community, and system levels. Key recommendations included providing youth appropriate information about relationships early on, communicating with youth directly and sensitively, and ensuring professionals notice signs of struggle and ask youth directly about their experiences.

The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program

The Parents Under Pressure (PuP) Program is a 12-module home-based parenting program that aims to reduce child abuse potential, parental stress, and child behavior problems. The modules can be addressed in any order based on family priorities and are supplemented by liaison with other social services. Studies have found the PuP program reduces child abuse potential, parental stress and improves child behavior, and for every 100 families treated there would be an estimated savings of AU$3.1 million.

Improving Decision-Making in Pre-birth Assessment: The OxPUP Project

This document summarizes the OxPUP (Oxford Pre-birth Pathway) project, which aims to improve decision-making in pre-birth assessments. It describes the OxPUP pathway, which involves identifying high-risk families during pregnancy and providing intervention. It also discusses tools used in pre-birth and postnatal assessments. The document presents two case studies, one where the child remained with their parents and one where the child was removed at birth. It finds that OxPUP cases had lower foster care costs and shorter court times compared to non-OxPUP cases.

Young advisors from over 100 teenagers aged 13-21 across several European countries were engaged to advise on a project about increasing safety regarding new technologies and intimate partner violence. The advisors provided input on developing the project website and materials. Challenges included low online discussion participation and high turnover of advisors. Strategies to address this included providing incentives, flexible timing of meetings, and discussing issues in new ways like drawing. Key issues were lack of advisor ownership of the online space and lack of direct cross-country discussions. Recommendations included giving advisors control of social media and enabling international meetings.

This document summarizes key findings from a study on young people's experiences with interpersonal violence and abuse both online and offline. The study included 100 interviews with young people ages 15-18 in several European countries. Key findings included: 1. Experiences of controlling behavior and surveillance both online and offline were normalized by some youth. This included pressure to share passwords and social media accounts. 2. Sending and receiving unwanted sexual images online was also normalized in some areas, though it caused distress for others, especially in tight-knit communities. 3. Both sexual pressure and physical/emotional violence occurred offline as well, with young women disproportionately impacted. 4. New technologies played a role

This document summarizes a study exploring intimate partner violence among young people in five European countries. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, including expert workshops, a survey of 4,500 14-17 year olds, interviews with 100 young people, and development of an app. The survey finds high rates of online and offline emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Girls report more negative impacts than boys. Factors like family violence, bullying, and gendered attitudes predict greater risk. The study also examines sending and sharing of sexual images, finding it associated with greater intimate partner violence risk, especially for girls.

Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas Part 2

In Dehradun district of Uttarakhand, India, with a population of 1.7 million people, only around 1800 have access to reliable quality professional services. Most pediatricians in the area have little awareness of the importance of early intervention for children. Developmental disabilities can be present from birth or acquired later in life due to factors like malnutrition, anemia, neglect, or lack of stimulation, and many acquired disabilities can be prevented by proper care and support during early childhood years.

Babies on Top of the World: Early Intervention in the Indian Himalayas

Babies On Top of the World documents early intervention programs for children with disabilities in remote areas of the Indian Himalayas run by the Latika Roy Foundation. The foundation operates 8 centers that serve over 300 children daily and monitors 500 high-risk infants annually, providing developmental assessments, therapy, and training parents and community health workers, though this still only reaches a small fraction of the estimated 66 million developmentally disabled children in India.
