Parenting young offenders: Shaping and re-shaping social networks following custody 2016-2017

Data consists of qualitative interview data comprising a total of 31 transcripts. These consist of primary caregivers (majority mothers) related to young men (aged 15-22) in prison. Because of the sensitivity of this research, a number of transcripts have been omitted, including cases where interviewees did not want their data to be archived. Transcripts have been carefully anonymised, with any potentially identifiable details removed (especially details relating the nature of the offences committed).
The project focuses on assessing the ways in which imprisonment creates wider impacts on family life, such as on parenting duties, physical and mental health of parents, as well as wider sources of social and economic disadvantage. As well as providing a comprehensive picture of the needs and experiences of parents, the research will be used to support and provide recommendations to the Prison Service, Youth Justice Service and Third Sector for creating more effective family-support policies and strategies, especially those which impact on resettlement and desistance where a number of gaps in policy and service provision have been identified (Prison Inspectorate, 2011, Youth Justice Board, 2012). <p>This project will examine which networks prove barriers to parents, and which serve as facilitators and supporters in helping parents cope with the impact of having a child imprisoned. Here the research will conduct 60 in-depth interviews with parents of young men imprisoned, including those with community penalties or licenses attached to their sentence.

本数据集包含质性访谈数据（qualitative interview data），共计31份访谈转录文本（transcripts）。受访对象均为服刑青年男性（年龄15至22岁）的主要照料者，其中绝大多数为母亲。鉴于本研究的敏感性，部分访谈转录文本已被剔除，其中包括受访者明确拒绝将其数据归档的案例。所有转录文本均已严格进行匿名化（anonymised）处理，移除了所有可能识别出受访者身份的信息，尤其是与所涉犯罪性质相关的细节。
本项目旨在评估监禁刑对家庭生活产生的多维度影响，包括对父母育儿职责、身心健康，以及更广泛层面的社会与经济劣势成因的影响。本研究在全面呈现照料者的需求与经历的同时，还将为监狱服务局（Prison Service）、青年司法服务局（Youth Justice Service）以及第三部门（Third Sector）提供支持并提出政策建议，助力其制定更具实效的家庭支持政策与策略——尤其是针对安置帮教与改过自新（resettlement and desistance）领域的相关政策，目前已有研究显示该领域的政策与服务供给存在诸多空白（监狱监察局(Prison Inspectorate)，2011；青年司法委员会(Youth Justice Board)，2012）。
<p>本项目将探究哪些社会网络会对照料者形成阻碍，而哪些又能作为助力与支持，帮助照料者应对子女入狱所带来的各类影响。本研究将对服刑青年男性的照料者开展60次深度访谈，其中包括那些被判处社区刑罚或附有释放许可的服刑人员的照料者。
