Lived experience to lived experience expertise: Embracing lived experience in Australian criminology
This paper, authored by some individuals with lived experience of the Australian criminal legal-punishment system, serves as a call to action for their recognition and integration within the criminal legal sector. We highlight the importance of acknowledging the deep personal nature of criminal legal-punishment system experiences, which, though potentially traumatic, offer valuable insights for improving social justice outcomes. Through vignettes…
“People say you’re going home, but I don’t have a home”: Housing After Prison
Recidivism in Australia is high, especially in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). While high-quality stable housing has been shown to reduce recidivism, people released from prison face many barriers in obtaining housing. This paper reports on a qualitative study exploring the housing experiences of 11 people released from prison in the ACT. Participants felt the importance of housing for reintegration and avoiding recidivism, but reported m…
Most people don’t like a client group that tell you to get fucked: Choice and control in Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme for formerly incarcerated people
Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a substantial policy reform aiming to radically transform the design and delivery of disability services. Choice and control are key tenets of the scheme, however challenges and limitations exist with respect to inequities and difficulties posed by boundaries between the NDIS and mainstream services. People with disability who have been incarcerated are particularly at risk of experiencin…
Rethinking prison visitation for children with incarcerated parents: Lessons from the Australian Capital Territory
Children of incarcerated parents experience a range of vulnerabilities which have led to them being dubbed the ‘invisible victims’ of the criminal justice system. This article discusses the needs of children with incarcerated parents using recent literature describing children’s experiences during prison visitation suspensions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We then critically examine the human rights-based communications framework, as well as t…
Development of the Student Nurse Subjective Evaluation of Completed Clinical Practice Placement Instrument
Background: Instruments that measure clinical learning environments have lacked rigorous methodological approaches in their development and validity. Method: Development research using a survey design approach was conducted for an instrument to evaluate the quality of nursing students' clinical practice placement. Results: The development and validity of the Student Nurse Subjective Evaluation of Completed Clinical Practice Placement (SNEP) resul…
Just a bunch of what ifs and unknowns’: The post-prison service provision experiences of people in Canberra, Australia
The forgotten prisoners: Exploring the impact of imprisonment on people with disability in Australia
People with disability represent a significant proportion of Australia’s prison population; however, little is known about their experiences or the institutional barriers they may face. Drawing from 24 in-depth interviews with 28 participants and one written submission, this article explores the impacts, challenges and consequences of imprisonment for people with disability in Australia. By bringing together disability and criminological research…
Where specialist and mainstream service systems collide: The National Disability Insurance Scheme in prisons
The coordination of specialist with mainstream service systems is prone to role delineation and implementation difficulties worldwide. In the case of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), this specialist/mainstream interface is complicated by federalism and funding responsibilities held by different levels of government. People with disability, especially cognitive or intellectual disability, are over‐represented in Australia's prisons…
If I don't get a job in six months' time, I can see myself being back in there’: Post‐prison employment experiences of people in Canberra
Research has consistently shown that gaining employment after release helps to reduce recidivism, but also that people who have been in prison face many barriers to finding secure employment. This article presents qualitative data from the experiences of 11 people who had been released from prison in the Australian Capital Territory. We focus on the challenges these participants encountered with obtaining employment post‐release, including not ha…
Reflecting on the Value of Community Researchers in Criminal Justice Research Projects
While the importance of community researchers has long been acknowledged in disability studies, inclusive research practices such as these are less common in research about another marginalised group: people who are in prison or have spent time in prison. Over the past decade in Australia, the number and rate of people imprisoned has risen rapidly, and recidivism rates remain high, indicating a need for improved services. In this article, we draw…
The Criminal Actors Have a Social Base in Their Communities: Gangs and Service Provision in Medellín, Colombia
In the last ten years, Medellín, Colombia has undergone significant socioeconomic improvements and a reduction in homicides. By drawing from qualitative data collected in Medellín, this article shows how, despite these improvements, residents in the marginalized neighborhoods maintain a perception that the state is unable or unwilling to provide them with services, such as employment and order or social control. Criminal gangs in these neighborho…
An awful state of affairs for you’: Managing the needs of older prisoners – a case study from the Australian Capital Territory
The 2013–2017 Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse found that children were abused in over 4000 Australian institutions between 1980 and 2015. The Commission referred at least 309 matters relating to abuse in Catholic institutions to the police. It is predicted that, in the coming years, older males will comprise an increasingly large part of the prison population in Australia. High increases are already …
From hierarchies to networks: The organizational evolution of the international drug trade
‘Orthodox’ and ‘alternative’ explanations for the reduction of urban violence in Medellín, Colombia
In 2016, 43 of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world were located in Latin America. In reducing levels of urban violence and preventing future outbreaks, approaches developed in Western Europe and North America are the most influential and have been subjected to considerable testing in high-income urban environments.This article focuses on Medellín, Colombia. By drawing from qualitative data collected in Medellín, the article scrutinises clai…
Associations Between Objective Sleep and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in a Community Sample
OBJECTIVE: Epidemiologic data increasingly support sleep as a determinant of cardiovascular disease risk. Fewer studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying this relationship using objective sleep assessment approaches. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine associations between daily blood pressure (BP) and both objectively assessed sleep duration and efficiency. METHODS: A diverse community sample of 300 men and women aged 21 to…
Researching in volatile environments and the importance of adaptive methods for junior researchers
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of adaptive methods for junior researchers undertaking research in volatile and dangerous environments. Design/methodology/approach Through the presentation of two case studies of the authors’ own experiences in the field, the authors demonstrate the way the use of adaptive methods is crucial for junior researchers to overcome unforeseen obstacles and day-to-day difficulties presented…
Sexually Transmitted Pathogens, Depression, and Other Manifestations Associated with Premenstrual Syndrome
Domestic Violence and Marriage-Like Relationships: Have We Begun to Emerge from the Dark Ages
In this article, we look at developments in the nexus between social security law and domestic violence. We postulate that since the publication of 'Domestic Violence and Marriage-Like Relationships: Social Security Law at the Crossroads' Alternative Law Journal (2009) 34(3), tribunals and decision-makers have finally begun to emerge from what was described in the article as 'the Dark Ages.' Several decisions have been made in which women subject…
