Report
Report produced by Emma Tuschick (Teesside University), March 2026.
Drawing on collaborative work with the University of Manchester and Northumbria Police Force, this N8 PRP Agile Evidence Review brings together research evidence, policy guidance, inspection findings, and third-sector practice to examine when suicide risk is highest, how criminal justice processes can intensify vulnerability, and where opportunities for prevention are currently being missed. The review focuses arrest, release from custody, investigative delay, and other key transition points.
