本文介绍了英国(UK)首次深入探讨新冠肺炎对青少年司法系统每个阶段儿童影响的调查结果。根据对140名青少年司法专业人员的访谈、对40名被拘留儿童和社区儿童的参与性研究以及对英格兰和威尔士所有157个青少年犯罪团队的调查,研究表明,这一流行病增加了参与司法的儿童的脆弱性;儿童经常面临健康焦虑、不稳定和不平等、家庭中的不良经历、系统性种族主义和学校排斥。专业人士和儿童报告说,由于一系列相互交叉的因素,如孤立,缺乏社交,缺乏日常生活,缺乏体育活动和睡眠模式不佳,焦虑和抑郁等心理健康疾病有所增加。大流行后,迫切需要系统性地致力于解决涉及司法的儿童的心理健康脆弱性。
This article presents the findings from the United Kingdom's (UK's) first in‐depth exploration of the impacts of Covid‐19 on children at each stage of the youth justice system. Based on interviews with 140 youth justice professionals, participatory research with 40 children in custody and in the community, and a survey of all 157 youth offending teams in England and Wales, the research demonstrates that the pandemic increased the vulnerabilities of justice‐involved children; children who are routinely exposed to health anxieties, instability and inequalities, adverse experiences in the home, systemic racism and school exclusion. Professionals and children reported an increase in mental health illnesses such as anxiety and depression due to range of intersecting factors such as isolation, lack of socialising, lack of routine, lack of physical activity and poor sleep patterns. Post‐pandemic, there is an urgent need for a systemic commitment to addressing the mental health vulnerabilities of justice‐involved children.
