New research from Abertay University and UHI Perth has uncovered the key factors driving repeat adult missing incidents, warning that weak or inconsistent follow-up support is leaving vulnerable people at continued risk. Published in Psychology, Crime & Law, the new study offers one of the first detailed explorations of the psychological and personal experiences of adults who go missing multiple times. It reveals how returning home without meaningful support leaves people increasingly at risk, while placing pressure on police, health, and social care services.
