But as yet, no definitive explanation has been produced. In the UK context, a rise and fall in illicit drug use has not been especially prominent in this debate, perhaps due to a lack of robust data for the whole period.

  • Hate Crime, April 2019
    St Helens Council Safer Communities Overview and Scrutiny Panel Review of Hate Crime March 2019 1. Background 1.1 During the annual Scrutiny Work Programme Consultation in Spring 2018, the topic of Hate Crime was suggested. This topic falls under the Safer Communities Overview and Scrutiny Panel remit and a task and finish group was established, including Councillors, Partners and Council Officers. 1.2 ‘Hate crime is defined as ‘any criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards someone based on a personal characteristic.’ This common definition was agreed in 2007 by the police, Crown Prosecution Service, Prison Service (now the National Offender Management Service) and other agencies that make up the criminal justice system. There are five centrally monitored strands of hate crime: race or ethnicity; religion or beliefs; sexual orientation; disability; and transgender identity.’ Home Office Report: Hate Crime, England and Wales, 2017/18, Statistical Bulletin 20/18 1.3 As stated in the above report, there were 94,098 hate crime offences in 2017/2018 recorded by the police in England and Wales, this was an increase of 17% compared to 2016/2017. In 2012/2013 42,255 crime offences were recorded resulting in an increase of 123% over the years to 2017/2018. 1.4 The increase in figures is thought to be due to improvements in police recording, raising awareness and different methods of reporting. However, 1 there has been spikes in hate crime following certain events such as the EU Referendum and the terrorist attacks in 2017.

  • Gangs, County Lines and Child Criminal Exploitation: a Case Study of Merseyside
    Gangs, County Lines and Child Criminal Exploitation: A Case Study of Merseyside Grace Robinson BSc (Hons), MA Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of Edge Hill University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Law and Criminology, Edge Hill University. September 2019 Abstract This research focuses on the involvement of gangs in County Lines drug dealing and processes of Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE). Data were collected by way of semi- structured interviews, focus groups and informal discussions with two samples of participants: gang-involved or gang-associated young people, and practitioners working with gang-involved or gang-associated young people. Practitioners were from criminal justice agencies (Youth Offending Teams (YOTs), Police, Young Offender Institutes (YOIs)), third-sector organisations and Alternative Education Providers (AEPs). Research was conducted with participants from four of the five boroughs that make up Merseyside, and as such the project took on the form of a case study of one part of England. Thematic analysis was utilised to identify various themes in the samples. Practitioners provided their understandings of CCE and highlighted factors impacting their ability to help gang-involved young people in an age of austerity, and gang-involved young people discussed processes of County Lines drug dealing and provided examples of CCE. The thesis provides numerous contributions to knowledge including: providing a thorough understanding of a complex problem; hearing the voices of often difficult to access groups of young people, and; capturing the realities of gangs, Child Criminal Exploitation and County Lines from Merseyside - a place which has largely been left out of academic debate surrounding gangs.
