Child protection and criminalisation: A data analytics approach

该项目为开发数据分析方法以通报和评估多机构干预措施提供了令人振奋的机会。这项研究将探讨儿童保护制度不同部分的年轻人之间犯罪化的不同比率，并考虑这种犯罪化是通过接触制度的各个方面(例如寄宿照料)更好地解释，还是通过参与社会照料服务之前的逆境和创伤的基本经历来更好地解释。该项目提供了一个与创新的泰晤士谷一起(TVT)公共服务数据系统合作的绝佳机会，该系统集成了医疗、社会护理、刑事司法和其他服务。TVT开辟了新的途径，将微观纵向方法应用于泰晤士河流域地区所有人口在整个生命过程中的个人层面的服务使用、经验和成果。

This project provides exciting opportunities for developing data analytical approaches to informing and evaluating multi-agency interventions. The research will explore differential rates of criminalisation among young people in different parts of the child protection system, and consider whether such criminalisation is better explained by exposure to aspects of the system (e.g. residential care), or by the underlying experiences of adversity and trauma that precede engagement with social care services. The studentship offers an outstanding opportunity to work with the innovative Thames Valley Together (TVT) public services data system that integrates health, social care, criminal justice, and other services. TVT opens up new avenues for applying micro-longitudinal approaches to service use, experiences and outcomes at the individual-level over the life course, for the entire population of the Thames Valley area.
