Still Forgotten? The Juggling Act of Remand Imprisonment on Maternal Figures
Remand custody has received little academic or policy attention, despite being a form of punishment that removes an individual immediately into prison for an unknown duration. While there has been growing international attention on prisoners’ children and families, the punitive impact of remand is ‘still forgotten’. Responding to this gap, 61 semi-structured interviews were conducted with loved ones (i.e., partners, parents, and friends) supporti…
Ambiguous loss
Remand remains a particularly punitive and painful form of incarceration for prisoners, as well as their loved ones on the outside attempting to provide support. Drawing on in-depth qualitative data collected from 61 loved ones’ supporting remanded prisoners in England and Wales, this article examines how the ambiguity and unknowns associated with this form of incarceration is particularly painful. Through the unique application of Boss’s theory …
The Routledge Handbook of Women's Experiences of Criminal Justice
Desistance theories consider how the social positionality of an individual and the opportunities to which they are exposed interact with agentic factors to bring about termination of offending and related behaviours. It has been argued that they fail to avoid the androcentricity to which most criminological theories are prone, in that they ignore structural contexts such as gender, class, and race. Research into women with convictions highlights …

Incarcerating Motherhood
Incarcerating Motherhood explores how initial short period in prisons can negatively impact mothers and their children. We have much yet to understand about the enduring harms caused by first time incarceration, especially for minimal time periods and for mothers with dependent children. With large numbers of female prisoners currently incarcerated for short periods in England and Wales (either on short sentences or remand), many of whom are prim…
Restorative Justice With Female Offenders
This article presents findings from a new qualitative study into female offenders’ experiences of restorative conferencing in England and Wales. It is argued that gendered factors of crime and victimization have a definite impact on the restorative conference process, particularly in the areas of complex and interacting needs, differently natured conference engagements, and risks around shame, mental health, and stereotypical ideals of female beh…
