    The proportion of young people taken into the care of the state has increased recently and there is evidence that this social group suffer negative long-term outcomes that might be conceptualised by the emergent criminological category of ‘social harm’. This discussion is then related to debates on social work which have juxtaposed an ethics of care and justice. This paper reports findings from an innovative arts-based intervention with Looked After Children and Young People and concludes that holding these competing value sets in creative tension is central to the success of the programme in helping young people to cope with and contest social harm

The evaluation took a mixed method and broadly ‘realist’ approach, first locating the programme in the wider literature related to social mobility, education and ‘essential life skills’, and then assessing a range of qualitative and quantitative data about the programme and its impacts on young people. The report is structured reviews the wider literature on social mobility, education and essential life skills and assesses evidence from multiple sources about the effectiveness of the #ThisIsDerby programme in developing Essential Life Skills among young people who participated.Derby County Community Trust Derby Cultural Education Partnership Department for Education Derby City Counci

    Resistance and reproduction: An arts-based investigation into young people’s emotional responses to crime

    Get PDF
    This paper reports on a qualitative study of young people’s emotional responses to crime, underpinned by cultural criminology and interpretive phenomenology. It uses alternative approaches to explore young people’s ‘fears’ of crime via the use of arts-based methods, specifically performative drama and focus groups. The rationale is rooted in young people’s voices being largely absent from fear of crime research and the increased movement towards a more creative and less prescriptive criminology. The findings point towards the value of such approaches and argue that young people’s emotions about crime become highly gendered and age-relevant in youth and have multiple, overlapping spheres that are culturally constructed, resisted and reproduced.Economic and Social Research Counci
