“…When examining disabling barriers and the experiences of disablism within the criminal justice system, it could be argued that a significant amount of research conducted in Disability Studies is produced on the experiences of victims (Quarmby 2008;Sherry 2011;Thomas 2011;Roulstone and Mason-Bish 2013;Edwards 2014;Macdonald et al 2017;McCarthy 2017;Mathews 2018). Thus, there has been limited attention in Disability Studies given to the experiences of suspects or perpetrators (Barnett 1986;Browning and Caulfield 2011;Macdonald 2012;Parsons and Sherwood 2016;Hollomotz and Schmitz 2018;Rogers 2019). Studies that have collected data on disability perpetrators, particularly individuals with learning disabilities, specific learning difficulties or mental health conditions, suggest that these groups are over represented and face significant barriers within the criminal justice system (Talbot 2008;Browning and Caulfield 2011;Macdonald 2012).…”

The role of the Appropriate Adult was established to protect the rights of suspects considered 'vulnerable' due to a number of miscarriages of justice during the 1970s.Appropriate Adult services are now a legal requirement in England and Wales for detained adults with mental health issues, learning disabilities or difficulties who have been detained in police custody. The aim of this project was to evaluate the extent and involvement of disabled adults who are or have been in police custody. The study concludes by suggesting the application of a social model approach within police custody, to meet the needs of service users and to avoid any miscarriages of justice.  Appropriate Adult services are now a legal requirement in England and Wales for adults detained in police custody who have mental health issues, learning disabilities or difficulties  The research explores the role of Appropriate Adult schemes across England and Wales in protecting the rights of disabled people in custody.  This study examines whether disabled people's voices are embraced in Appropriate Adult Schemes to improve services and to remove disabling barriers. This study discovered that service user voices were missing from every aspect of Appropriate Adult service provision. The findings suggest that in order to develop an effective criminal justice service for disabled people in custody, service user voices must be incorporated to develop a service which protects the rights of disabled people.

“…Research which links disability theory and criminology has predominantly focused on victims of crime (see, e.g., Macdonald, Donovan & Clayton, 2017; Mathews, 2018; McCarthy, 2017; Pearson, Rees & Forster, 2022). Research into the experiences of suspects or offenders has been conducted, but is less extensive (see, e.g., Barnett, 1986; Browning & Caulfield, 2011; Gormley & Watson, 2021; Hollomotz & Schmitz, 2018; Parsons & Sherwood, 2016; Rogers, 2020). The available research suggests that disabled perpetrators are over‐represented in criminal justice (Hyun, Hahn & McConnell, 2014; Richards & Ellem, 2019; Thorneycroft & Asquith, 2021) and that significant barriers exist for people with mental health conditions, specific learning difficulties or learning disabilities (Bone, 1998; Browning & Caulfield, 2011; Macdonald, 2012; Talbot, 2008) and that they are significantly disadvantaged as a result (Gormley & Watson, 2021).…”

The importance of screening for speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in police custody

People who have speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) are more prevalent in criminal justice settings than in the wider population. Previous research focusing primarily on young people and the prison population has led to calls for early interventions and screening, particularly in youth justice settings. NHS Liaison and Diversion (L&D) referrals in a single police force region in England were screened for SLCN over a period of three months. The results indicate a need for early identification of SLCN for all age groups, and for those with no previous SLCN‐related diagnoses.

“…The research student, my research students, might have a different tale to tell (indeed reflect upon what is it like when their supervisor, me, does indeed go home, turn off the computer and call time). This chapter also focusses on previous research about PhD supervision, interpersonal relations and power (Lucey and Rogers 2007, Rogers 2017) and care ethics (Rogers 2016(Rogers , 2017(Rogers , 2019. For me these areas intersect in discussing the doctoral student, the supervisor self and the doctoral research training context.…”

The Doctoral Journey as an Emotional, Embodied, Political Experience

Exploring the PhD supervisor self and performance of caring workTo my PhD students, I am the one who metaphorically holds their hand through their research journey, I am the one who knows what buttons to push, and what to say and when to say it -I am the one who can reduce them to tears or place them so high they reach cloud nine and burst with pride. I too can feel these range of emotions vicariously. I question, who am I in my professional role? I am an academic, a researcher, a teacher, a colleague, a PhD supervisor. All roles I take seriously. The PhD student cannot and will not always be my priority yet is part of my academic role in supporting the academy in, I hope, a care-full manner. Via an auto/biographic narrative and a care ethics framework I explore the self as a doctoral supervisor. Their doctoral life is in my hands, but at what point does the PhD student take control and recognise the supervisor is 'going home'.
