Convict criminology is the study of criminology by those who have
first-hand experience of imprisonment. This is the first
single-authored book to trace the emergence of convict criminology
and explore its relevance beyond the USA to the UK and other parts
of Europe. Addressing epistemological issues of 'insider research',
it presents uniquely reflexive scholarship combining personal
experience with critical perspectives on contemporary penality.
Taking a gendered approach and focusing explicitly on men, it
covers: * the way prisoners, ex-prisoners and prison research
contribute to criminological knowledge * historical figures in
criminology whose prison experiences are rarely recognised * the
way racism, colonialism and class shape penal experience and social
worlds Drawing from his own experience of imprisonment, prison
research and criminology, the author demonstrates how this
experience can expand the criminological imagination. It is a novel
and compelling account for students, teachers, academics and penal
practitioners. It will inform, educate and entertain anyone working
in criminal justice, the legal and para-legal professions and those
with an interest in social justice.
