“…This is consistent with intersectional theories which recognise that peoples' experiences, including offending patterns, are shaped by a whole set of underlying systems of oppression and inequality associated with multiple factors, including their sex or their race/ethnicity (Bell, 2013;Lorenz & Hayes, 2020). Since the influence of factors such as sex and race/ethnicity cannot be disentangled, if we explore these facets independently, we risk masking important intragroup differences (Lorenz & Hayes, 2020). An emerging body of research has demonstrated the value of exploring intersectional distinctions in offending patterns (Broidy et al, 2015;Bell, 2013), experiences of child maltreatment (Jones et al, 2021), relationships between child maltreatment and youth offending (Baidawi et al, 2021;Goodkind et al, 2013;Kolivoski, 2022), and the relationship between childhood experiences and adult violent or antisocial behaviour (Augustyn & Jackson, 2020;Jones et al, 2021).…”

“…In particular, it is vital that life-course studies examine the independent and intersectional impacts of sex and race/ethnicity on such systemic processes, especially in contexts where these factors form such a prominent role in justice inequalities (Broidy et al, 2015;Bell, 2013;Herz et al, 2010;Jones et al, 2021), especially for cross-over children (Bromwich, 2019;Kolivoski et al, 2017). This is consistent with intersectional theories which recognise that peoples' experiences, including offending patterns, are shaped by a whole set of underlying systems of oppression and inequality associated with multiple factors, including their sex or their race/ethnicity (Bell, 2013;Lorenz & Hayes, 2020). Since the influence of factors such as sex and race/ethnicity cannot be disentangled, if we explore these facets independently, we risk masking important intragroup differences (Lorenz & Hayes, 2020).…”

It is well known that youth justice contact is associated with criminal conviction in adulthood. What is less well understood is whether ‘cross-over’ children, who have contact with both child welfare and youth justice systems, experience relatively worse outcomes and, if so, whether these outcomes vary by important demographic factors, such as sex and race. Criminal careers scholars have examined patterns of adult convictions for different groups, but attempts to understand intersectional variation in these outcomes have been constrained by limitations of standard statistical analysis. Using administrative data from the Queensland Cross-sector Research Collaboration, we adopt a flexible regression model specification to explore the cumulative effects of both child welfare and youth justice contact on adult conviction trajectories, and how these associations vary by sex and Indigenous status. We find clear evidence across all demographic groups that contact with both justice and welfare systems in childhood is associated with increased likelihood and severity of conviction trajectories in adulthood. The cumulative effect of cross-over status results in greater equity of negative outcomes across groups, although the conviction profile is worst for Indigenous men. Evidence of an additional inequality is present only for non-Indigenous women, who have the lowest likelihood of conviction overall. We conclude that while cross-over children are at elevated risk of conviction in adulthood, the nature and seriousness of their conviction pathways is conditional on pre-existing intersectional inequalities. The model specification used is a promising method by which to explore the existence of such inequalities.

Background and Objectives Studies have examined the vulnerabilities and the extent of health problems experienced by the older adult population in prison. However, reports about the subjective experiences of incarcerated older adults who are coping with health problems are scarce. This is alarming since older adults comprise the fastest-growing demographic in the prison systems of the United States and Europe. The aim of the current study was to bring forth the voices of older adults who are living with diseases in prison and to outline the landscape of struggling with everyday health care management. Research Design and Methods An interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the narratives of 23 individuals aged 60 to 88 who were coping with health problems in prison. Results The narratives revealed three major themes: (1) Living day to day with illness in prison: Fighting prison bureaucracy and public humiliation; (2) Coping with complex medical issues: Lack of professional medical care and cumulative problems, and (3) What does the future hold? Fear of living with illness out of prison. Discussion and Implications Intersectionality was used as a conceptual framework for understanding the participants' narratives. The cumulative effect of belonging to systematically oppressed and marginalized groups is discussed. The research findings point to issues and experiences that are unique to older adults coping with health problems in prison and can serve as a framework for developing tailored interventions for these individuals.
