Child abuse and neglect in the UK today
Lorraine Radford, Susana Corral, Christine Bradley, Helen Fisher, Claire Bassett, Nick Howat and Stephan Collishaw
This report presents new research findings from the NSPCC on child maltreatment in the United Kingdom, looking specifically at the prevalence and impact of severe maltreatment. We found that the rates of child maltreatment reported by young adults aged 18–24 were lower in 2009
than in 1998, suggesting maltreatment may be less prevalent today. However, significant minorities of children and young people in the UK today are experiencing severe maltreatment and this is associated with poorer emotional wellbeing, self-harm, suicidal ideation and delinquent behaviour.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth in the Juvenile Justice System
This guidance is critical because LGBT youth are at heightened risk of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, particularly in secure settings. In addition, LGBT youth represent up to 20 percent of detained youth ? a far greater percentage than their share of the general population. Although the guide is chiefly aimed at promoting the health and well-being of LGBT youth, its recommendations will benefit all justice-involved youth by exposing and challenging bias, promoting mutual respect and increasing professionalism. The recommendations in the guide are also consistent with core JDAI strategies.

Mental Health Psychosocial and Child Protection for Syrian Adolescent Refugees in Jordan
As the number of Syrians in Jordan has steadily increased over the last three
years, tensions between the Syrian refugee and Jordanian communities have emerged, particularly among adults who are struggling with limited resources to manage the increase in housing rents copupled with a lack of income driven opportunities. However, few studies have examined the experience of adolescent Syrian refugees in Jordan. As of August 2014, about 52% of the Syrian population in Jordan is aged 0–17 years old, with about 14% between 12–17 years old, making Syrian adolescents integral significant demographic group par within the community.

PRACTICE ADVICE INTRODUCTION TO INTELLIGENCE-LED POLICING
The concept of intelligence-led policing underpins all aspects of policing, from neighbourhood policing and partnership work to the investigation of serious and organised crime and terrorism. Within the framework of the National Intelligence Model, the effective and efficient collection, recording, dissemination and retention of information allows for the identification of material which can be assessed for intelligence value and enables decision-making about priorities and tactical options. Where information has been derived from human sources, whether members of the public, criminals or police staff, additional risks and considerations arise about the management of such material. It is, therefore, important that staff understand the role that they play in the intelligence-led policing process, and how they can achieve the best results.

Significant Case Review: Brandon Lee Muir
Following the death of Brandon Muir, those charged with leading and managing child protection services in Dundee commissioned two separate reviews. A significant case review was commissioned in line with national guidance to examine the particular circumstances surrounding the child protection issues, and the role of the various authorities involved.

Striking the Balance
In recent years there have been increasingly negative debates about both the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) system of checks on people working with children and adults at risk of abuse, as well as the proposed Vetting and Barring system managed by the Independent Safeguarding Authority. Some of that criticism has been about a perception of very bureaucratic and costly processes, while other criticisms have been about the degree of intrusion which these systems are seen to represent into the lives of ordinary people.
