Community-Based Participatory Research with Women in Prison: The Women's Worlds Peer Mentoring Program

商品描述

This innovative work tells the story of a unique partnership between a state prison administration and a team of incarcerated women, prison administrators, researchers, artists, and students known as The WoW Collective due to their joint efforts in developing a peer mentoring program called "Women's Words/Women's Worlds (WoW)." Using the example of WoW, the book provides a guide to doing community-based participatory research (CBPR) with women in prison that takes a collaborative--rather than the typically adversarial--approach to working together toward the goal of transformative social change. This book provides a ground-breaking example of how incarcerated women, prison administrators, researchers, and artists successfully worked together on a community-based project that led to meaningful results in the form of a peer mentoring program designed by women in prison for women in prison. Remaining closely attuned to the ethical dimensions of doing CBPR in a highly structured prison environment, this book provides inspiration to CBPR practitioners who seek to work within the criminal justice system to create real and meaningful change for the better. Co-authored by two criminologists, a senior prison administrator, and the unique collective known as WoW, this book provides both a clear step-by-step CBPR guide and a visionary approach to working with criminal justice practitioners.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本創新的作品講述了一個獨特的合作關係，即一個州監獄管理機構與一個由被囚禁的女性、監獄管理人員、研究人員、藝術家和學生組成的團隊之間的合作。這個團隊因為共同努力開發了一個同儕輔導計劃，名為「女性的話語/女性的世界（WoW）」，因此被稱為WoW Collective。本書以WoW為例，提供了一個指南，教導如何與監獄中的女性進行基於社區的參與式研究（CBPR），並以合作的方式而非通常的對抗方式共同努力實現轉型性社會變革的目標。本書為一個具有開創性的例子，展示了被囚禁的女性、監獄管理人員、研究人員和藝術家如何成功地在一個基於社區的項目上合作，並以同儕輔導計劃的形式取得有意義的成果，該計劃由被囚禁的女性設計，為被囚禁的女性服務。本書密切關注在高度結構化的監獄環境中進行CBPR的道德層面，為希望在刑事司法系統內工作以實現真正有意義的變革的CBPR從業人員提供了啟示。本書由兩位犯罪學家、一位高級監獄管理人員和獨特的WoW Collective共同撰寫，既提供了一個清晰的逐步CBPR指南，又提供了一種與刑事司法從業人員合作的有遠見的方法。
