This seminar will present the findings of Alice’s PhD, an ethnographic study of a medium-security English prison for men convicted of sex offences. Sex offenders constitute a significant and growing proportion of the prison population - almost one in five sentenced adult men have been convicted of sex offences - but they have been consistently overlooked by prisonresearchers.
