Applied Photovoice in Criminal Justice

Building on her leading research in creative methodology, in this book Wendy Fitzgibbon explores and illustrates how Photovoice, a participatory, active research tool, can enable new insights and engagement with both marginalised people and those workingwith them in the criminal justice system. Through the use of research examples from criminal justice settings around Europe, the book explains how to undertake such research and face the ethical and practical challenges presented. Engaging, accessible and illustrated with original photographs, this book not only presents the theoretical and practical information necessary for researchers, students and practitioners to be able to utilise Photovoice, but demonstrates these with original empirical findings from an international range of projects, including work with probation officers, with female offenders and with the inmates of an open prison.
