• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  Black and Mixed heritage children are disproportionality represented throughout the criminal (youth) justice system (16%) from initial contact with the police, through stop and search (16%), to sentencing, remand in custody (35%) and in youth custody (41%) (Mullen et al, 2014, Taylor, 2016; Lammy 2017; Robertson and Wainwright, 2020; HMIP, 2021a; YJB/MOJ, 2022). This project aims to explore the extent to which racial inequality leads to black and mixed heritage boys being socially excluded from societies and mental health trauma issues.
