Child Safety Inventions A Rapid Scoping Review of the Evaluation Literature (Phase I & II)

This rapid review was conducted over an exceptionally short, two week period by a team of research with extensive experience with systematic reviews of evaluation literature, under the supervision of E.Eggins &\ua0L.Mazerolle. This review is to be considered as a rudimentary starting point in understanding the evidence for the effectiveness of 15 intervention categories put forward by the Dept\ua0of Child Safety, Youth &\ua0Women. This rapid review summarises the evidence for 15 intervention categories and their impact on the following focal outcomes: (a) family preservation and reunification; (b) child safety intervention or action; (c) child psychosocial outcomes (e.g. stability of living arrangements, mental and physical health, education, employment, involvement in the criminal justice system)

Specifically, this rapid review synthesises the studies that assess the impact of mental health co-response models on the following outcomes:· Criminal justice outcomes for mental ill individuals· Referral other services· Demand or use of agency resources· Perceptions of police·\ua0Police and stakeholder perceptions of MHCR models·\ua0Police and stakeholder perceptions, knowledge and/or attitudes about mental illness and/or individuals with mental illness·\ua0Adverse event

Criminal justice responses to child sexual abuse material offending: A systematic review and evidence and gap map

This report provides the world’s first systematic review of criminal justice responses to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offending. The systematic search identified 20,820 records, yielding eight eligible impact evaluations. Six studies focused on policing and two on the judicial arm of the criminal justice system. No correctional impact evaluations met our inclusion criteria.We qualitatively synthesise the evidence and use an evidence and gap map to visualise the current state of the evaluation evidence. Future research needs to prospectively design and rigorously evaluate evidence-informed interventions that are specifically tailored to CSAM offending
