When Ex-Convicts Become Criminologists
"...Over the past few decades,
some ex-convicts have turned to academia, aiming to put their experience
'inside' to good use. They use their knowledge of the criminal justice
system to select research questions and design studies. They use their
history to gain prisoners’ trust. And they work to counteract what they
see as a strong bias in academic criminology toward the perspectives of
authorities in the criminal justice system."
