The proposed project will explore the treatment and experiences of children who are incarcerated in Jamaica. The rates of offending and incarceration of children in the state are very high, and some are detained for extended periods in police 'lock ups' and in prisons which are believed to be inappropriate and unsuitable for 1) the nature of the offences they have allegedly committed, which can include low level status offences such as running away from home or breaching curfew - and 2) for the punishment of children. Developing an understanding of how and why children are incarcerated, and how they are treated when they are and the impact this has on them, is crucially important in terms of our academic knowledge and potentially influencing policy and practice in this area.

拟议的项目将探讨牙买加被监禁儿童的待遇和经历。该州的儿童犯罪率和监禁率非常高，有些儿童被长时间拘留在警方的“拘留所”和监狱中，这些拘留所和监狱被认为是不适当的，不适合1）他们据称犯下的罪行的性质，其中可能包括离家出走或违反宵禁等低级别的身份犯罪，以及2）惩罚儿童。了解儿童如何以及为什么被监禁，以及他们在被监禁时如何被对待以及这对他们的影响，对于我们的学术知识和可能影响这一领域的政策和实践至关重要。
