This project explores the experiences of children and young people currently in the youth justice system, and how they perceive interactions with the police, solicitors and youth justice services to have been influenced by their ethnic background.
This research, funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, follows on from our previous project ‘Equal diversion? Racial disproportionality in youth diversion’ and is a crucial step towards expanding the limited evidence base on youth diversion in England and Wales.
