Children with cognitive impairment in out-of-home care (OOHC) are significantly over-represented in the criminal justice system. Little attention has been given to the connection between those with cognitive impairment who also have a care background and how these combined factors are linked to their criminal behaviour. A qualitative study utilising semi-structured interviews with 11 senior strategic officers and service providers to this cohort was conducted with the aim of investigating the views of these professionals and gaining insight into factors contributing to the criminalisation of children with cognitive impairment in OOHC. Five themes were identified using thematic analysis, suggesting that the primary areas of concern are: (a) increased vulnerability, (b) lack of belonging and security, (c) challenges with identification, (d) steering to the criminal justice system and (e) lack of support. These findings have important implications for both policy and practice, which are discussed in full.
在院外照料（OOHC）环境中的认知障碍儿童在刑事司法系统中的占比显著过高。对于那些既有认知障碍又有照料背景的人之间的联系，以及这些综合因素如何与他们的犯罪行为相关联，人们关注甚少。本研究开展了一项定性研究，对11名该群体的高级战略官员和服务提供者进行了半结构化访谈，旨在调查这些专业人士的观点，并深入了解导致院外照料环境中认知障碍儿童被定罪的因素。通过主题分析确定了五个主题，表明主要关注领域包括：（a）脆弱性增加，（b）缺乏归属感和安全感，（c）识别方面的挑战，（d）被导向刑事司法系统，以及（e）缺乏支持。这些研究结果对政策和实践都具有重要意义，将进行全面讨论。
