Research - The Intersecting Institutions of Criminal Justice & Injustice
2022-08-04 to 2027-08-25
Over the past three years, shocking incidents in Canada and the United States have made front-page news out of long-simmering concerns about the criminal justice system (CJS) relating to police violence, the pains of imprisonment, gendered victimization, and intrusive surveillance. It is also the case that, unlike any moment in recent history, key criminal justice officials appear to be paying serious attention to these issues and are open to meaningful, evidence-based change. My research is concerned to understand the human and organizational factors that perpetuate these patterns of marginalization and the experiences of individuals caught up in the CJS
Research - University of Alberta Prison Project
