The Routledge Handbook of Women's Experiences of Criminal Justice

Auteur

Isla Masson is a Criminologist and Researcher at The Open University. Her research interests include women in the criminal justice system, motherhood, incarceration, remand, care leavers and restorative justice. Her book Incarcerating Motherhood (Routledge, 2019) was based on her doctoral research, which explored the longevity of short terms of incarceration on mothers. She is a trustee at The Boaz Project, which is a therapeutic work environment for adults with learning disabilities, and previously volunteered with the Independent Monitoring Board.

Natalie Booth is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Bath Spa University. Her doctorate explored 'maternal imprisonment and family life' resulting in a book revealing the previously untold experiences of those charged with the responsibility of looking after children of female prisoners 'from the caregivers' perspectives' (2020). Her written work also contributes to our understanding about the maintenance of relationships and family contact during imprisonment, mothers and women in prison and developments in penal policy relating to women and families.
