Abstract

The number of people aged 50 and over entering the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales is growing. This raises questions as to the suitability of the CJS to equitably accommodate individuals with complex illness or impairment, who might experience difficulties in cognitive function, frailty, and/or impaired mobility. Findings from the government, the third sector, and academic literature have highlighted the difficulties experienced by older adults in the CJS and those tasked with supporting them. To inform the development of the Ministry of Justice's national strategy for older people in prison, we conducted a series of nominal focus groups with policy makers, practitioners, prison staff, representatives from the third sector, and academics, each focusing on a specific topic area that impacts older adults in prison. These were: 1) older adult trajectories; 2) long term conditions; 3) dementia; 4) mental health; 5) social care; 6) end of life care; 7) women; 8) ethnicity; and 9) COVID-19. An additional nominal group was also held with older adults currently in prison to discuss what they thought should be included in the national strategy more broadly. This paper presents the methodology of the nominal groups and subsequent analysis, as well as providing a rationale for the research. It serves as a precursor to a series of papers reporting and discussing the findings of the topic-specific nominal groups.

为刑事司法系统中老年人的国家战略提供证据:概述本系列简短报告的名义群体方法。
在英格兰和威尔士,进入刑事司法系统(CJS)的50岁及以上的人数正在增长。这就提出了一个问题,即CJS是否适合公平地容纳患有复杂疾病或损伤的个体,这些个体可能在认知功能、虚弱和/或行动障碍方面遇到困难。来自政府、第三部门和学术文献的调查结果强调了CJS中老年人和负责支持他们的人所经历的困难。为了向司法部关于监狱中老年人的国家战略的发展提供信息,我们与政策制定者、从业人员、监狱工作人员、第三部门代表和学者进行了一系列名义上的焦点小组讨论,每个小组都关注影响监狱中老年人的特定主题领域。它们是:1)老年人的轨迹;2)长期条件;3)痴呆;4)心理健康;5)社会关怀;6)临终关怀;7)女性;8)种族;9) COVID-19。另外还有一个名义上的小组,与目前在监狱中的老年人一起讨论他们认为应该更广泛地纳入国家战略的内容。本文介绍了名义群体的方法和随后的分析,并为研究提供了基本原理。它是一系列报告和讨论特定主题名义组调查结果的论文的前奏。
