- The monograph details the culmination of a 15-year project, reporting on the collection of data from the final sweep of interviews and situating it with regards to observations made at previous points in the project. This involved qualitative analysis of 378 interviews with 142 individuals. The type of sample – current and ex-offenders – is by its nature difficult to recruit; participants frequently have no permanent address or may be imprisoned. They were also dispersed across Great Britain and many needed multiple visits to homes to secure their participation. Conducting interviews with this sample took two and a half years.
