Hi Fabio – Alan Jenkins’ book ‘Becoming ethical – a parallel political journey with men who have abused’ might be useful – have valued what I have read of it so far and uses some constructionist ideas to think about engagement and ‘resistance’ within forensic settings.

Hi Emma,
thank you very much for making contact!
yeah, I've heard about MF book and I bought and tried to start reading it some time ago but with no success: I have been trying to catch up with the latest re prison research as I had to define my project and find my originality niche.
I will surely give it a read as soon as I get settled. Have you read it yourself?
I am intrigued about your project: what are you doing specifically? I still have lots to learn about CP and I am trying to take as much as I can! I had some modules in my MSc 5-6 years ago but unfortunately I moved to other areas of research and, now again, moved back to it and hoping to be able to do research after my PhD.
which prison have you been working? How did you find it? Was it like you expected it to be (e.g. prisoners, staff etc.)?
I look forward to hear from you and learn more from you!
all the best,
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
My name is Emma also student doing community critical research in relation to mental health and art. As an off shoot I have worked in prisons teaching art. I would recommend Michel Foucault. Discipline and Punish: The Birth of The Prison as a great book for you to read regarding social structures and social constructionism on punishment?
Best,
Emma

Subject: Introducing myselfHi all,
I have finally found this group and I am really pleased there's someone interested in Community Psychology.
I am currently a PhD student in criminology looking at prisoners' engagement with reforming opportunities available in the prison itself (it is connected to desistance from crime too, for those who know what I am talking about).
I am aiming to identify attitudes of staff and prisoners towards prisoners' resettlement and how this affects prisoners' efforts to reduce their reoffending (or not).
I still have to start my research and (unfortunately) I won't be able to adopt a Community psychology approach (given the restrictions I have in time and resources).
I would like to bring the discourse on prisons further and re-think research within these institutions in terms of community psychology by also including the communities that are welcoming back the same ex-prisoners.
I have a background in Social Psychology and Action Research - and I wish I could do a project more AR oriented!
I hope I will be able to make the most of the group and hear more about yourselves!
All the best,
Fabio
