What is the impact of joint protocols between police and children's residential homes in Wales?

本研究将探讨如何与儿童和青少年（青少年）在寄宿照顾警察接触的形式存在的正式协议。由于这些人卷入刑事司法系统的可能性增加，这可能对他们的长期福祉产生不利影响。这个项目将采用多方法的研究设计，由现实主义的框架通知。定量部分将利用匿名的警方数据，探讨警方对存在和不存在协议的养老院的反应。定性数据收集，通过访谈与护理人员，住宿护理人员和警察，将探讨在四个案例研究城市的协议的经验。

This study will examine how police contact with children and young people (CYP) in residential care is shaped by the presence of formal protocols. CYP have an increased likelihood of being involved with the criminal justice system, this can have an adverse impact on their long-term well-being. This project will employ a multi-method research design informed by a realist framework. The quantitative component will utilise anonymised police data to explore police responses to residential care homes where protocols do and do not exist. Qualitative data collected via interviews with CYP, residential care staff and police officers, will explore the experience of protocols at four case study cites.
