Although prison can present a critical opportunity to engage with
offenders through interventions and programming, reoffending rates
among those released from prison remain stubbornly high. Sport can
be a means through which to engage with even the most challenging
and complex individuals caught up in a cycle of offending and
imprisonment, by offering an alternative means of excitement and
risk taking to that gained through engaging in offending behaviour,
or by providing an alternative social network and access to
positive role models. This is the first book to explore the role of
sport in prisons and its subsequent impact on rehabilitation and
behavioural change. The book draws on research literature on the
beneficial role of sport in community settings and on prison
cultures and regimes, across disciplines including criminology,
psychology, sociology and sport studies, as well as original
qualitative and quantitative data gathered from research in
prisons. It unpacks the meanings that prisoners and staff attach to
sport participation and interventions in order to understand how to
promote behavioural change through sport most effectively, while
identifying and tackling the key emerging issues and challenges.
Sport in Prison is essential reading for any advanced student,
researcher, policy-maker or professional working in the criminal
justice system with an interest in prisons, offending behaviour,
rehabilitation, sport development, or the wider social significance
of sport.
