The document 'end_user_licence_group_changes', available with the EUL version, SN 9161, details the differences between the two versions.

英国监狱监察局（His Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons，简称HMIP）囚犯调查（前身为被羁押人员调查）是该局监狱监察职责的组成部分。自2000年起，项目组在接受监察的监管机构中系统性开展囚犯调查，以深入了解被羁押人员在羁押期间接受罪犯管理的相关体验。

调查问卷会发放给囚犯，由其交回HMIP工作组，后者将对数据进行处理，用于为单个监管机构的监察工作及HMIP年度报告提供支撑。

本次调查按主题分类设置问题及对应作答选项，同时预留了供囚犯补充意见的空间（本数据集未收录此类文本评论）。

HMIP囚犯调查系列的具体目标如下：
- 生成可在不同时间跨度及不同监管机构间进行比较的数据集；
- 为英格兰及威尔士地区的成年囚犯大型代表性样本提供数据支持。截至目前，项目已累计收集了20余年的调查数据。2020/2021年度的调查受HMIP <a href="https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmiprisons/about-hmi-prisons/covid-19/">新冠疫情防控限制措施</a>影响。

**最终用户许可版与特殊许可版**

英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service）收录了HMIP囚犯调查的两个版本：一是最终用户许可版（End User Licence，简称EUL，序列号SN 9161），需完成注册并遵循标准访问规则；二是内容更详尽的特殊许可版（Special Licence，简称SL，序列号SN 9068），该版本存在额外访问限制。与EUL版（SN 9161）一同提供的"end_user_licence_group_changes"文档，详细说明了两个版本的差异。用户在申请访问SL版前，应先获取EUL版以确认其是否满足自身研究需求。

本次数据集的第二版（2024年10月发布）新增了2023/2024年度的调查数据与文档资料。
