Trapped in dichotomies and individualism: The Western criminal legal system's failure to capture complexity
This article critiques the Western criminal legal systems’ individualism and reliance on dichotomies. Grounding our analysis in micro-level findings based on interviews from two studies on the experiences of repeatedly criminalised people in the UK, we aim to show how these dichotomies – criminal/non-criminal behaviour; guilt/innocence at event level; victim/offender flatten reality beyond recognition and allow individual(s) to be blamed and puni…
Nuances of fragmentation, (mis)recognition and closeness: Narratives of challenges and support during resettlement
The transition from prison to society tends to be tough and painful for people in resettlement and challenging to facilitate for professionals. The Norwegian Correctional Services aim for a continuous reentry focus throughout the prison sentence. Norway has been presented as one of the Nordic exceptional penal states, partly based on ‘the encouraging pattern of officer-inmate interactions’. However, this exceptional picture has been criticized fo…
Pervasive punishment in a pandemic
In this paper, we draw on data from a recent study of how Covid-19 and related restrictions impacted on vulnerable and/or marginalised populations in Scotland (Armstrong and Pickering, 2020), including justice-affected people (i.e. people in prison and under supervision, their families and those that work with them; see Gormley et al., 2020). Focusing here mainly on interviews with people released from prison and others under community-based crim…
Well-kent Faces’: Policing Persistent Offenders and the Possibilities for Desistance
This article focuses on the policing of adult persistent offenders and its implications for desistance. It integrates the findings from two qualitative studies undertaken in Scotland on the experiences of those considered 'persistent offenders' and the police. The article's contribution lies in its close analysis of how adult persistent offenders and the police interact, examining factors before, during and after their encounter. We show that the…
The pains of desistance
Desistance is generally presented in a positive light, with themes of ‘making good’ and generativity recurring in the literature. This article reports on two qualitative studies exploring the desistance journeys of two different groups of ex-offenders, drawing attention to the pains of this process. It examines the possible consequences of these ‘pains of desistance’ and how they are linked to three spheres of desistance: act-desistance; identity…
Being Imprisoned: Punishment, Adaptation and Desistance
Exploring the way in which criminal punishment is interpreted and narrated by offenders, this book examines the meaning offenders ascribe to their sentence and the consequences of this for future desi
Punishment as moral communication: The experiences of long-term prisoners
This article examines for the first time to what extent the lived experience of long-term prisoners matches the normative theory of criminal punishment as moral communication. The findings are based on 27 narrative interviews with men at different stages of a long-term prison sentence. The analysis suggests that Antony Duff’s normative vision of punishment as moral communication may be difficult to realise in practice because of the inevitable pr…
Routes Out of Prison Using Life Coaches to Assist Resettlement
Scotland is undertaking one of its biggest penal reforms in a generation and is seeking a fundamental change to its approach to punishment, which is characterised by the use of very short prison sentences. This article discusses some findings from phase one of an ongoing evaluation study of R outes out of P rison ( RooP ) which uses L ife C oaches, many of whom are themselves former prisoners, to support the transition and resettlement of large n…
Investigations of the Enzymes Involved in the Fructose Breakdown in the Cattle Lens
By introducing fructose into the glycolysis, it is possible to stimulate ATP formation. As is the case in animal experiments, in human lenses, too, the first step is the phosphorylation to fructose-1-phosphate via the enzyme ketohexokinase. The present investigation deals with the question whether enzymes present in the lens are responsible for the further steps in fructose degradation. Particularly the aldolase isoenzyme C splits fructose-1-phos…
Community psychology and injustice in the criminal justice system
In this short paper, we consider the partnership between psychology and the criminal justice system in Western societies and critically reflect on the notion of criminal justice as expressed in such a system. Focusing on how the criminal justice system operates in the UK, and in particular in Scotland, we consider the way the system criminalizes those who previously have been socially and economically disadvantaged. We ask whether community psych…
