Could responsibility for youth justice move to the Education Department? Why it's high time it did. reformingprisons.blogspot.com/2025/01/youth-…

If accurate, this is deeply disturbing. Recalling a lifer to #prison on the basis of creative expression, adhering to tropes within a specific music genre (even if insensitive), rather than imminent #risk seems fundamentally wrong! #Criminology #CJS theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

Our new briefing highlights a 253% increase in over 18s held in youth custody between Nov 22-July 23 due to a policy change aimed at easing overcrowded adult prisons. The impact on struggling institutions and children and young people has been massive. ➡️bit.ly/4hcKP1X

Important report further highlighting the crisis in harmful child prisons. It calls for custody to be used only as a last resort, in welfare based establishments, and for the creation of a Department for Children so responsibility for all vulnerable children is in one place.

Youth justice stats - some don't look good...increases in offending after custody, increases of custody use (is this due to knife crime policies?), still too many children remanded (62% don't then get custody), still too much disproportionality tinyurl.com/3t5syrnv Youth Justice Board

I have been waiting a loong time for some of this data. My fellow data nerds: this Children's Commissioner for England report is fascinating. Children in prison often know each other from before. But this is a group of only ~500 kids across England and Wales. How can such a small number be connected?

Hey #Criminology folk, Does anyone know of any research on how the #policing of different age ranges within populations impacts on how we understand the Age/Crime curve?? #LifeCourse #DevelopmentalCriminology #CriminalJustice #Desistance

New Secure School "requires improvement." First Ofsted inspection report on Oasis Restore since it opened last summer finds arrangements for ensuring that children get consistently good care are not yet embedded and safeguarding is not consistently good.

We don't agree. PAVA spray is not a tool to solve the issues children (or staff) face in custody, it is introducing an extra problem. Very definitely not a solution. Let's break this post by Shabana Mahmood MP down: 🧵
