Beskrivning

This book focuses on the work of Convict Criminology at Westminster, a research group convened by the editors that, since 2016, has initiated seven programmes where university and prison-based students study, research and write about prisons.The chapters are co-authored by students and teachers inside and outside prison, with and without incarceration experience, in the UK, Italy, Brazil and Argentina. Most chapters were presented at a Convict Criminology symposium convened by the research group at the university and three prisons in June 2023. The first section explores Convict Criminology’s origins and its development at Westminster as a research activist movement that combines the knowledge and standpoints of people with and without personal experience of prison. The book then divides into five themes, reflecting partnerships between incarcerated and non-incarcerated students: prisoner–university partnerships, hope and survival, autonomy and responsibility, reforming prison and inside–out student reflections.Insider Prison Perspectives in Europe and the Americas views all teachers and students who co-produce research on prisons as convict criminologists, whether they have experienced incarceration or not, and aims to preserve prisoners’ authentic voices without academic misrepresentation. This book is important reading for Convict Criminology scholars, Social Science students and educators engaged in prison higher education.

"Convict criminology is the OG of the lived experience movement that is reshaping criminal legal systems internationally. Without the contributions of the convict criminologists, there would be no movement. Drawing on vivid case studies from the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States, Argentina and Brazil, this exciting collection tells the improbable story of convict criminology’s ascendancy against the run of play, in a time of perpetual crisis across penal systems globally. Achievements like these give credence to Margaret Mead’s cliché about never doubting the ability of 'small groups of thoughtful, committed citizens' to change the world. One small amendment though: this inspirational book shows that social movements of the civically disenfranchised can change the way societies do justice even after the civil death of incarceration. Indeed, they may be the only thing that ever has."Shadd Maruna, Head of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology, University of Liverpool, UK"Convict Criminology was founded by a small group of scholars with a shared vision of infusing lived experience into a field that often spoke about them but never with them. Insider Prison Perspectives in Europe and the Americas demonstrates how that vision has transformed beyond our wildest imaginations. This edited volume offers an insider view of a growing global collective of criminalized scholars and their allies on a mission to educate and empower incarcerated people. A must read for anyone interested in returning humanity to criminology."Jennifer Ortiz, Associate Professor of Criminology and Justice Studies, The College of New Jersey, USA
