Appendix VIII the YOUNG OFFENDER ABSTRACT The present thesis is a detailed examination of bullying behaviour in Young Offender Institutions and assaultive behaviour in adult prisons and Young Offender Institutions. An amalgam of methods of enquiry were used throughout, which comprised i) questionnaires, ii) structured interviews. Hi) focus groups, iv) standardised measures of personality, intelli^ ce and social background, v) analysis of official discipline report records, vi) analysis f f official assault incident report records and vii) analysis of computerised prisoner records. This mixture of methods, known as 'triangulation', was adopted in an attempt to achieve a more reliable and valid representation of bullying and assaultive behaviour occurring within penal establishments. Information was obtained from a variety of subject groups, including convicted young offenders, young offenders on remand, convicted adult prisoners, adult prisoners on remand, prison officers, prisons management and specialist staff working in the prisons. Data were analysed by means of parametric and non-parametric statistical techniques. Seven cross-sectional studies were designed and conducted, the results of which are reported herein. The first five studies examined only Young Offender Institutions. Concerning young offenders, the levels of bullying ivere comparatively high when compared with studies done on analogous populations. Among young offenders, the most common types of bullying were similar to those shown in previous studies, such as taxing, threats and name calling. More staff in Young Offender Institutions perceived bullying as a problem both nationally and in their own establishment than did young offenders. While staff and young offenders had discordant opinions as to the levels and types of bullying taking place within Young Offender Institutions, they had concordant views as to the characteristics of 'bullies' and 'victims'. The types o f bullying (i.e. covert and overt) varied considerably according to type of Young Offender Institution and type of young offender under study. The introduction o f an anti-bullying initiative in one Young Offender Institution appeared to change the way bullying was manifested, as noted in the prison records, by reducing overt bullying behaviour and increasing more subversive and covert bullying. The remaining two studies in the thesis examined assault in both adult prisons and Young Offender Institutions. Results revealed that the typology of assaults in adult prisons and young offender establishments were dissimilar in important respects. In Young Offender Institutions the assaults on prisoners were more likely to be 'spontaneous' and result in less severe injury to the victim, whereas in adult prisons the assaults were more likely to be 'planned' and result in more severe injury to the victim. When looking at sub-groups within Scottish prisons and Young Offender Institutions using discriminant function analysis, victims of assaults on prisoners were distinguishable from both perpetrators of assaults on staff and perpetrators of assaults on other prisoners, using a range of social background factors. Victims of assault in adult prisons were more accurately identified (91% correctly identified, compared with 43% at 'chance') than victims in Young Offender Institutions (73% correctly identified, compared with 47% at 'chance'). The introduction of anti-bullying initiatives into young offender establishments, and in particular, how they might effect overt and covert bullying in contrasting^ ways, is reflected upon. Moreover, the importance of obtaining information from a variety of subject groups and an amalgam of data gathering techniques ts highlighted. The utility of using factors relating to an inmate's social background, personality and intelligence to predict involvement in bullying is discussed. Finally, the main findings from the thesis are discussed in relation to the relevant literature, practical implications for intervention and areas where future research may be necessary.

Introduction In Scotland, one of the principles underpinning the philosophy and practice with both children and young people who offend is a welfare approach. This stems from the work of the Kilbrandon Committee in 1964 and formed the basis of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968. Based on this principle, the primary role of youth justice in Scotland should be to improve life chances for children and young people, and to work with children, their families and communities to prevent offending and re-offending. The approach to children involved in offending should be guided by GIRFEC (Getting it Right for Every Child), recognising that these are children first and foremost.

It considers the number of children (those aged 10-17) in the system, the offences they committed, the outcomes they received, their demographics and the trends over time. Main points The number of children who received a caution or sentence has 21,700 children were fallen by 83% over the last ten years, with a 19% fall in the last cautioned or sentenced year. The number of first time entrants has fallen by 85% since the 11,900 first time entrants to year ending March 2009, with an 18% fall since the year ending the YJS March 2018. 4,500 knife and offensive There was a 1% decrease in these offences compared with the weapon offences were previous year after four year-on-year increases.

Welsh Centre for Crime and Social Justice (WCCSJ) January 2018 Cover photograph used under free MorgueFile licence. Original image URI: http://mrg.bz/PS3Js9 Acknowledgments This research is the result of collaborative work between the Welsh Centre for Crime and Social Justice and the Youth Justice Board (YJB) Cymru. In particular Dusty Kennedy and Lynzi Jarman (YJB Cymru) who, along with the authors, formed the steering group. We wish to acknowledge this team of people for their genuine commitment to understanding and improving the experience of young people in conflict with the law, and for the wonderful support they gave us in undertaking this research. Diana acknowledges with particular gratitude our YJB colleagues who offered invaluable assistance, support and friendship during her year in Wales. The people in the YOTs Diana visited across Wales are too numerous to mention individually. Needless to say, without their openness and willingness to help, this research would not have been possible. Thank you to all the YOT workers, managers, information officers, police officers and administrative staff who welcomed Diana into their workplaces, gave their time and energy, and shared their stories, experience and passion for the young people they work with. We are all incredibly grateful to the four young men who shared their personal experiences of ‘getting into lots of trouble’, and to the YOT workers they trusted enough to allow Diana to meet with them. The perspective of the ‘lads’ themselves on what helped them and made it hard to stay out of trouble was invaluable for the research and to help us understand some of the complexities associated with young people’s ‘prolific’ offending.

  • Youth Custody in Scotland: Rates, Trends and Drivers
    YOUTH CUSTODY IN SCOTLAND: RATES, TRENDS AND DRIVERS SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION The upward trend in youth custody rates across the UK has led the Prison Reform Trust, with support from The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, to identify the drivers to youth custody and to reduce the overall numbers of children and young people in prison or secure settings. The Trust’s concerns rest on the following facts: • Imprisoning children is harsh and ineffective; • Children can suffer mental health problems as a result of being deprived of their liberty and having limited contact with family and friends; • The incarceration of children is not cost-effective; • Custody exacerbates rather than reduces youth crime (Prison Reform Trust/ SmartJustice, 2008). Two studies have been undertaken in England and Wales to date as a result of this campaign (Gibbs and Hickson, 2009; Prison Reform Trust/SmartJustice, 2008). The Prison Reform Trust now wants to explore youth custody rates, trends and drivers in Scotland, with a view to reducing numbers of children and young people held in custody north of the Border. This review therefore gives some key statistics on youth custody rates and trends and explores the drivers to changes in those rates over time. The review identifies four key drivers: a) increasingly stringent requirements imposed on children and young people who offend; b) the increased use of remand; c) shorter prison sentences with little scope for rehabilitation; and d) the earlier criminalisation of children and young people. Reducing child imprisonment requires attention to all four of these factors which interact in different ways and at different times, depending on policy, practice and public concerns.
