The historical context of colonisation situates the analysis in
Children, Care and Crime of the involvement of children with care
experience in the criminal justice system in an Australian
jurisdiction (New South Wales), focusing on residential care,
policing, the provision of legal services and interactions in the
Children's Court. While the majority of children in care do not
have contact with the criminal justice system, this book explores
why those with care experience, and Indigenous children, are
over-represented in this system. Drawing on findings from an
innovative, mixed-method study - court observations, file reviews
and qualitative interviews - the book investigates historical and
contemporary processes of colonisation and criminalisation. The
book outlines the impact of trauma and responses to trauma,
including inter-generational trauma caused by policies of
colonisation and criminalisation. It then follows a child's journey
through the continuum of care to the criminal justice system,
examining data at each stage including the residential care
environment, interactions with police, the provision of legal
services and experiences at the Children's Court. Drawing together
an analysis of the gendered and racialised treatment of women and
girls with care experience in the criminal justice system, the book
particularly focuses on legacies of forced removal and
apprenticeship which targeted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
women and girls. Through analysing what practices from England and
Wales might offer the NSW context, our findings are enriched by
further reflection on how decriminalisation pathways might be
imagined. While there have been many policy initiatives developed
to address criminalisation, in all parts of the study little
evidence was found of implementation and impact. To conclude, the
book examines the way that 'hope tropes' are regularly deployed in
child protection and criminal justice to dangle the prospect of
reform, and even to produce pockets of success, only to be whittled
away by well-worn pathways to routine criminalisation. The
conclusion also considers what a transformative agenda would look
like and how monitoring and accountability mechanisms are key to
new ways of operating. Finally, the book explores strengths-based
approaches and how they might take shape in the child protection
and criminal justice systems. Children, Care and Crime is aimed at
researchers, lawyers and criminal justice practitioners, police,
Judges and Magistrates, policy-makers and those working in child
protection, the criminal justice system or delivering services to
children or adults with care experience. The research is
multidisciplinary and therefore will be of broad appeal to the
criminology, law, psychology, sociology and social work
disciplines. The book is most suitable for undergraduate courses
focusing on youth justice and policing, and postgraduates
researching in this field.
