How does going to prison change someone’s social networks?
According to the first of today's Five Studies About: Prison and Beyond
Welcome to The Art of Explaining Crime, the independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
Two editions of Five Studies About are published each week: Five Studies About (free) and Five Studies About+ (paid, more in-depth). Each is a tip sheet where I curate recent crime and justice studies related to one topic. Today’s topic is prison and beyond.
These new crime studies related to prison and beyond were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. Long-Term Impacts of Incarceration Exposure and Social Network Stability in Later Life [The Prison Journal]
2. Freedom at Any Cost: An Exploratory Analysis of 45,000 Prison Escapes (1989–2019) [Corrections]
3. Holloway Prison: Representations and Realities in the History of a Women’s Prison, 1902 to 1955 [Women & Criminal Justice]
4. “You’re Not Like the Rest of Them”: Navigating Prison While Researching Islam [Corrections]
5. Beyond Recidivism: A Systematic Review Exploring Comprehensive Criteria for Successful Reintegration After Prison Release [Criminal Justice and Behavior]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my newsletter where I report on criminology and criminal justice research. If any sound interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Five Studies About and Crime Research Update are the output of my research discovery system.
