Rabbits in Headlights: Professional Responses to Children’s Help-Seeking Practices When They Are Victims of Domestic abuse
The Victim and Prisoners Act 2024 has legislated the responsibility of professionals to respond when they are aware children and young people (CYP) are experiencing domestic abuse. However, CYP are often concerned about what adult responses to their help-seeking may be, frequently encountering adults who freeze, like rabbits in headlights, unclear on how to respond appropriately. Thus, CYP may engage in help-seeking at different levels, at differ…
Family Hubs and the vulnerable care ecologies of child and family welfare in austerity
This article takes an ecological approach to examine the legacies of austerity for local authority welfare systems in England and the implications for families seeking to use these services. Programmes of Early Intervention or Early Help that promote 'resilience' amongst marginalised families and reduce future dependency upon state services have been advocated consistently in the UK, currently intensifying with a period of welfare retrenchment an…
“Education as the practice of freedom?” – prison education and the pandemic
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a corner of society where the spotlight has not fallen – the black hole of prisons, confining predominantly poor, minoritised and often younger adults. Globally, during the pandemic, people detained in prison have been locked away in solitary, or near solitary, confinement for up to 23-hours a day. In the UK, this meant choosing between fresh air, exercise or a phone call to loved ones each day. The…
Community Reactions to Young People Who Have Sexually Abused and Their Families: A Shotgun Blast, Not a Rifle Shot
Data on 117 young sexual abusers were examined to investigate the nature of community responses to young people's abusive behaviour. A wide range of community responses were found, with stigmatisation, social isolation and collateral damage being common. A contagion effect was noted, with community responses extending over time and across contexts. Some young offenders and their families were attacked and forced out of their homes. In some cases,…
Family Responses to Young People Who have Sexually Abused: Anger, Ambivalence and Acceptance
Data on 117 British young people who had sexually abused others were examined in order to investigate the nature and impact of family responses on the management of young sexual abusers. Parental responses were varied, ranging from being entirely supportive of the child, through to ambivalence and uncertainty and, at the other end of the continuum, to outright rejection. Parents were more likely to be supportive when their child's victims were ex…
Developmental markers of risk or vulnerability? Young females who sexually abuse – characteristics, backgrounds, behaviours and outcomes
This paper presents findings from a subsample of 24 young females aged 8–16 years who were referred to specialist services in E ngland during the 1990s because of their abusive sexual behaviours. The characteristics, backgrounds and behaviours of the sample are summarized and compared both with the males in the total population studied and with findings from the limited international literature on young female sexual abusers. Key findings include…
