Abstract

Child criminal exploitation is a form of child abuse, linked to youth gang involvement and with long-lasting serious consequences for communities. Multisystemic therapy (MST) is a systemic intervention for antisocial behaviour with an extensive evidence base but there is limited research focussing on gang involved or criminally exploited young people. Through semi-structured interviews, this study qualitatively explored young people at risk of exploitation (n = 4) and their caregivers (n = 6) experience of MST across three sites in England. Four themes emerged through thematic analysis: changes experienced; improved caregiver-young person relationship; facilitators of change; and barriers to change. The process of MST facilitated behaviour change and supported development of support networks for caregivers and engagement with prosocial young peers. Barriers to change included young people's association with negative adults and frequent peer relationship changes. Further exploration of the complex associations between negative adults and young people at risk of exploitation is recommended.

为涉及或面临儿童犯罪剥削风险的青少年提供多系统疗法:青少年和照顾者的观点
对儿童的犯罪剥削是虐待儿童的一种形式,与青少年帮派活动有关,并对社区造成长期的严重后果。多系统疗法(MST)是一种针对反社会行为的系统干预措施,具有广泛的证据基础,但针对参与帮派或遭受犯罪剥削的青少年的研究却十分有限。本研究通过半结构式访谈,定性地探讨了英格兰三个地区有被剥削风险的青少年(4 人)及其照顾者(6 人)的 MST 体验。通过主题分析,我们发现了四个主题:经历的改变;照顾者与青少年关系的改善;改变的促进因素;改变的障碍。心理创伤治疗过程促进了行为的改变,支持了照顾者支持网络的发展以及与亲社会青少年同伴的交往。改变的障碍包括青少年与消极成人的联系以及同伴关系的频繁变化。建议进一步探讨消极成人与面临剥削风险的青少年之间的复杂关系。
