摘要

目的本研究旨在为一线从业人员提供一个分享经验、表达意见和形成新思路的平台,以便在应对县级帮派剥削儿童的过程中有效地开展多机构工作。设计/方法/方法clg正在培养小至7岁的孩子。需要多机构对clg的培养作出有效反应,这是预防工作的一个关键优先事项。本文利用与13名青年从业人员、学校工作人员和慈善机构举行的焦点小组的调查结果,强调了多机构一线从业人员在处理clg对儿童的犯罪剥削案件时面临的障碍。焦点小组内的讨论表明,在CLG成功培养年轻人方面,存在许多共同的障碍和驱动因素。更具体地说,这项研究的结果表明,学校排斥和缺乏亲社会归属感是加剧被CLG成功培养风险的驱动因素。缺乏重要的成人关系也被认为是成功的多机构干预的一个障碍,其原因是缺乏建立有意义的关系所需的足够工作人员所需的资金和资源。创意/价值这项研究为来自不同界别和司法管辖区的从业员提供了独特的机会,让他们分享与参与社区服务的年轻人合作的经验,以及他们在采用多机构合作方式时所面临的挑战。这些讨论在clg的情况下尤其重要,因为这些团伙的活动具有跨管辖权的性质。本研究确定了多机构对clg反应的问题,并提出了改进建议。识别和理解从业者在应对clg时面临的障碍,有助于制定和实施各种措施,这将有助于保护受clg剥削的弱势受害者。

Barriers experienced with multi-agency responses to county line gangs: a focus group study
Purpose This study aims to create a platform for frontline practitioners to share experiences, express opinions and forge new ideas for effective multi-agency work when responding to child exploitation by county line gangs (CLGs). Design/methodology/approach CLGs are grooming children as young as age 7. The need for effective multi-agency responses to grooming by CLGs is a key priority for prevention. Using findings from focus groups held with 13 youth practitioners, school staff and charities, this article highlights the barriers that multi-agency frontline practitioners face when they are tasked with responding to instances of child criminal exploitation by CLGs. Findings Discussions within the focus groups indicate there are many common barriers and driving factors with regards to young people being successfully groomed by a CLG. More specifically, findings from this research identified school exclusions and a lack of prosocial sense of belonging to be a driving factor that exacerbated the risk of being successfully groomed by a CLG. Lack of a significant adult relationship was also found to be a barrier to successful multi-agency intervention, which was attributed to the lack of funding and resources required for adequate staffing needed to build meaningful relationships. Originality/value This study offered the unique opportunity for practitioners from various different sectors and jurisdictions to share their experiences of not only working with young people involved in CLGs, but also their challenges when using a multi-agency approach. These discussions are particularly important in the case of CLGs due to the cross-jurisdiction nature of the gangs’ activities. This research has identified issues with multi-agency responses to CLGs and offers recommendations for improvement. Identifying and understanding the barriers that practitioners face when responding to CLGs can allow for the development and implementation of various measures, which will aid the safeguarding of vulnerable victims of exploitation by CLGs.
