This research looks in depth at four priority areas: race and racism, the care system, mental health and the criminal justice system, and life after prison.

The recommendations focus on what policymakers can do, both at national and local levels, to make real, positive changes for young adults in the criminal justice and care systems.

The report was co-produced with a team of young adults aged 18-30 with lived experience of the criminal justice and care systems.
