This book constitutes the first publication to utilise a range of
social science methodologies to illuminate diverse and new aspects
of health research in prison settings. Prison contexts often have
profound implications for the health of the people who live and
work within them. Despite these settings often housing people from
extremely disadvantaged and deprived communities, many with
multiple and complex health needs, health research is generally
neglected within both criminology and medical sociology. Through
the fourteen chapters of this book, a range of issues emerge that
the authors of each contribution reflect upon. The ethical concerns
that emerge as a consequence of undertaking prison health research
are not ignored, indeed these lie at the heart of this book and
resonate across all the chapters. Foregrounding these issues
necessarily forms a significant focus of this introductory chapter.
Alongside explicitly considering emerging ethical issues, our
contributing authors also have considered diverse aspects of
innovation in research methodologies within the context of prison
health research. Many of the chapters are innovative through the
methodologies that were used, often adapting and utilising research
methods rarely used within prison settings. The book brings
together chapters from students, scholars, practitioners and
service users from a range of disciplines (including medical
sociology, medical anthropology, criminology, psychology and public
health).
