The Network comprises a collaboration of 5 UK Universities, together
with partners in Australia and the USA, who are carrying out research
that will extend understanding of young people’s pathways
into and out of crime.
We are particularly interested in listening to the
voices of young people and their families and the diverse experiences
of people from different communities and backgrounds. The Network
is funded by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council
for four years from 1st October 2001 and consists of the following
five projects:
-
Risk and resilience in children who are offending, excluded
from school or who have behaviour problems, Universities
of Sheffield and De Montfort;
-
Risk, protection and resilience in urban Black and Asian
culture, University of Nottingham;
-
Risk, protection and resilience in the family life of children
and young people with a parent in prison, University
of Newcastle;
- Social capital and its impact on risk, protection
and resilience in young people, De Montfort
University;
- Substance misuse amongst young offenders,
Universities of Essex and Glasgow Caledonian.
