- This ten-chapter monograph draws on extensive experience of the criminal justice system built up over more than two decades of working as a criminal justice practitioner, researcher and academic. In-depth life-story interviews with ex-prisoners and analysis of prisoner autobiographies provide insights into the lived experiences of those whose lives are criminalised; this is augmented by a three-year study with university students about their perspectives on punishment and prisons. These comprehensive and unique datasets are woven together to develop the conceptual frame of viscosity, and the sticky connections between systems of power, individual identities and wider cultural understandings of criminal justice.
