While a small minority who are involved in sexual offending will be processed through the criminal courts and become subject to supervision and monitoring under Scotland's Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA), international guidelines and best practice indicate that children (all persons under the age of 18 years) should not be prosecuted in adult court and processed in the same systems as adult offenders. The present research was an exploratory study to provide a baseline for future investigation of the responses across Scotland to children and young people involved in sexual offending and sexually harmful behaviour, and to examine comparative profiles and practices in MAPPA and Child Protection/Children's Hearing arrangements to establish shared principles for effective risk management. The aims were to: - Profile the needs and risks presented by young people subject to MAPPA - Establish a coherent overview of risk management practices and processes - Understand how risks and needs of children and young people under 18, and the protection of the wider community, are managed A multi-methods approach was adopted for the study, and due to the sensitive nature of the work, developed through a staged process of ethical and methodological approval. In conjunction with staff at Scottish Police Services Authority a data collection tool was developed to collate data from the secure Violent and Sex Offender Register (ViSOR) electronic record system. A second tool was also designed to collect data from local authority staff working with young people subject to MAPPA. Nine follow up interviews were also held with social work staff. Mid November 2011 was the agreed date for accessing the data. Details: Edinburgh: Centre for Youth & Criminal Justice, 2014. 40p.
