Institutional fiefdoms: The Implementation of Governance and New Norms Within an Emerging Strategic Action Field

Impact of trauma and placement in residential or congregate care on the criminalisation of children in England/Wales and Australia
Children in residential care have the most complex needs of all children growing up in Out-of-Home care (OOHC), due to complex trauma from pre-care experiences of abuse and neglect, inadequate therapeutic supports while in care and significant placement instability. Some argue that residential care settings are intrinsically criminogenic, as evidenced by significant over-representation of this cohort in youth justice. However, little is known abo…
We need the activists to be more entrepreneurial: Global versus local modes of thought on the development of social enterprise support systems in transitioning economies
As the processes of market liberalization and globalization increase the confidence of international actors involved in national third sectors, there exists a cosmopolitan tension between 'mobile elites' and 'locked in' nationals. This paper explores the impact of these tensions on the social enterprise ecosystem in the Republic of Poland and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Focused on the internationalized mechanisms of support, the relationsh…
Creating ownership: Strengths and tensions in co-production with children, young people, and adults across contexts
The inclusion of young people in conducting research leads to the creation of shared knowledge, honest communication, and increases the legitimacy of the research, allowing it to be an effective base for policy creation. This paper looks at the role of horizontal co-production with young people, as we reflect together on the process of collaboration in peace-building research
Social Impact Measurement for a Sustainable Future: The Power of Aesthetics and Practical Implications

I ain’t stupid, I just don’t like school ’: A ‘needs’ based argument for children’s educational provision in custody
Whilst the number of children in custody declines, the complex needs of many of them have increased. A review of the youth justice system stated that education needs to be the central pillar in preventing offending. Research suggests that education fails children, by prioritising reputation and the standards agenda over providing care and education that meets individual needs (Runswick-Cole. 2011. “Time to End the Bias Towards Inclusion.” British…
