Desistance and Children: Critical Reflections from Theory, Research and Practice
Confronting intergenerational harm: Care experience, motherhood and criminal justice involvement
Prior research highlights how criminalized mothers may be particularly at risk of negative judgements, but little work to date explores how criminalisation, care experience and motherhood may intersect to produce multi-faceted structural disadvantage within both systems of care and punishment. This paper attends to this knowledge gap, drawing on interviews with imprisoned women who have been in care (e.g. foster care or children’s homes), care-ex…
Painful lives: Understanding self-harm amongst care-experienced women in prison
Self-harm incidents in custody in England and Wales recently reached a record high, increasing particularly in women’s establishments. This article explores experiences of self-harm by drawing on interviews with care-experienced women in prison in England. Using prior care experience as the underlying thread enables us to explore this topic through a different lens. Considering the functions of self-harm that women described, including the commun…
The Criminalisation and Exploitation of Children in Care: Multi-Agency Perspectives
The Criminalisation and Exploitation of Children in Care explores the results of a recent qualitative study, which focused on multi-agency responses to children and young people in residential and foster care who were at risk of criminalisation and/or exploitation and abuse. Recent high-profile reports have highlighted an urgent need for effective multi-agency work to tackle the issues of criminalisation and exploitation of children and young peo…
Children in Care: Exploitation, Offending and the Denial of Victimhood in a Prosecution-led Culture of Practice
The following article reports upon recent research, which explored the perceptions of professionals of the issues that affect the sexual and criminal exploitation of children in care, along with a discussion of the effectiveness of current responses to these issues and the challenges that professionals face. The study utilised focus groups and semi-structured interviews to gain the perspectives of thirty-six participants from across a range of ag…
Professional perceptions of the care-crime connection: Risk, marketisation and a failing system
Reporting the findings from an English study of practitioners working within multi-agency settings, this article will explore their perceptions of the factors that contribute to the criminalisation of children in care. The findings support the contention that children get into trouble as a consequence of a number of system level deficiencies, along with a defensive, risk averse approach to practice which permeates throughout children’s social car…
Reflecting on the Past: Children’s Services Workers’ Experiences of Residential Care in Scotland from 1960 to 1975
While contemporary responses to the issue of historic child abuse in the Scottish context have tended to focus upon the experiences of former residents of institutional care, it is clear that much can also be learned from the narratives of former child-care workers. This article draws upon the findings of a recent project, the overall aim of which was to explore children’s services’ workers experiences of residential care in Scotland from 1960 to…

Why Do Young People Offend in Children's Homes? Research, Theory and Practice
The following article reports upon and discusses the results of part of the author's Ph.D. study, the focus of which was young people's perceptions of the factors that contribute to them coming to the attention of the youth justice system while resident in children's homes in England. The study ultimately confirmed that a complex interplay of factors contribute to youth justice involvement and, as such, it is argued that a continued primary focus…
Professionals' perceptions of offending in children's residential care
This paper reports on and discusses the results of part of the author's PhD study. It focuses on professionals' perceptions of the factors that contribute to young people in residential children's homes coming to the attention of the criminal justice system, with consideration given to how such perceptions might impact on responses to the young people. As part of a case study of a particular local authority area, the author undertook semi‐structu…
Cost-benefit analysis in the human services
The importance for psychologists of an informed interest in costing and budgeting methods applied to health and human services is outlined.
