Policy, Purpose and Pragmatism: Dilemmas for voluntary and community organisations working with black young people affected by crime
Race and ethnicityOpen report

How do voluntary organisations address the needs of black young people in criminal justice strategies? This report looks at voluntary and community work and identifies a lack of clarity about the relevance of ethnicity in interventions, and providers’ aims, and mission drift against a backdrop of poor policy at higher levels. It asks if statutory contracts compromise relationships between providers and young people.
