Deterrence versus procedural justice: Successfully reducing prison misconduct and recidivism

Forensic Science International Mind and Law, vol. 3

Abstract

ethnographic research we aim to explore how the radicalisation discourse impacts current policies and experiences in prison by focusing on 1) the changing role of religion and Islam in particular in current prison policies (macro level); 2) how Islam is regulated and experienced by prison actors (prison officers, governors and social service actors) (meso-level); 3) how Islam is experienced by Muslim prisoners (micro).Prison and Muslim masculinity frameworks are used in order to understand how masculinity impacts above mentioned policies and experiences.This ground-breaking research makes use of traditional ethnographic (participant observation and semi-structured interviews) and novel methodologies such as digital storytelling.Moreover, the multidisciplinary approach will enrich different research strands within anthropology, criminology, political science, and minority studies.
