Older people are the fastest growing population in the prison estate in England and Wales (House of Commons Justice Committee 2020). Changes to sentencing policy have resulted in people going to prison for longer and people going to prison later in life for historical offences. The increase in numbers is also reflected in probation caseloads (Cadet 2020). This is also against a backdrop of an ageing society and workforce and also means that there are issues for older people who are victims of crime too (Bows and Penhale 2018). These phenomena are also occurring in other jurisdictions such as the United States (Blowers 2015) and Australia (Australian Government, 2020).<\/p>\n

Who counts as an older person?\u00a0Currently anyone aged 50 and over is being treated as an older person for operational purposes by Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service (House of Commons Justice Committee, 2020). For older victims, there is no definition of age in the context of elder abuse (Bows and Penhale 2018). Is a more nuanced consideration of what defines an older person in the criminal justice required?
\nWhat are the different needs for older people with convictions across the criminal justice system, from policing, through charging, sentencing and resettlement?\u00a0Some of these may pertain to physical and mental health and social care but are there other needs criminogenic and non-criminogenic that are currently overlooked.<\/p>\n

Aside from concerns about the adequacy of prisons, what about the adequacy of custody suites and opportunities being missed to engage early with older people at point of arrest and in police custody?<\/p>\n

How can best practice in working with older people support working within the criminal justice system more generally?<\/p>\n

To what extent are the needs of older people with convictions different from the needs of younger adults?<\/p>\n

How can older victims be supported?<\/p>\n

In England and Wales a national strategy is being developed (UK Parliament, 2020) but this has taken over twenty years of repeated calls from researchers, policy makers, and campaigners for this to happen. This begs the question as to whether criminal justice organisations are institutionally ageist, institutionally thoughtless, or institutionally ill-equipped to appreciate the myriad ways in which ageing and experience of the criminal justice system interact.<\/p>\n

This special issue invites papers from practitioners, policy makers and researchers from the UK and internationally in other jurisdictions to address these questions and the wider aspects of ageing and the criminal justice system more generally.
