A country that works for all children and young people: An evidence-based plan for addressing childhood vulnerability, crime and justice.

Research output: Book/Report › Commissioned report

Abstract

The eleventh report in a year-long series – produced jointly by Child of the North and the Centre for Young Lives – that seeks to deliver a country that works for all children and young people, sets out an evidence-based plan to protect and support the thousands of vulnerable children in England at risk of involvement with the criminal justice system.

The report, An evidence-based plan for addressing childhood vulnerability, crime and justice, recommends targeted action to divert vulnerable young people away from criminal exploitation and harm by focusing on keeping children in school, rolling out mental health hubs in areas of disadvantage, and delivering better identification and support.

Written by researchers from the ESRC Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre, the report shows how every year, thousands of children become involved in the criminal justice system or become victims of serious violence or crime. While increasingly fewer young people are going into secure custody, most children involved in the criminal justice system share similar experiences of childhood adversity, including poverty, unmet SEND, exclusion from school, abuse, neglect and exposure to domestic violence, addiction, or mental ill-health at home.
