Product Description

Review
"'This is a pioneering study of the families of serious offenders. It explores the shame and stigma they experience in a careful and thoughtful way. Extremely well-written, it should be read by everybody with an interest in crime and punishment.' Professor Frances Heidensohn (LSE)"

Product Description
This book examines the experiences of relatives of those accused or convicted of serious crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape and sex offenses. A broader literature exists on prisoners' families, but few studies have looked specifically at those related to serious offenders, or considered their experience other than as prison visitors. Many of the difficulties faced by 'mundane prisoners' families are magnified for the relatives of serious offenders, first by the length of sentence, and secondly by the seriousness and stigmatizing impact through association of the offense itself. "Families Shamed" draws upon intense qualitative research which combines long, searching interviews with the relatives of serious offenders with ethnographic fieldwork over a period of several years. The book focuses on how relatives made sense of their experiences, individually and collectively: how they described the difficulties they faced; whether they were blamed and shamed and in what manner; how they 'understood' the offense and the circumstances which had brought it about; and how they dealt with the contradiction inherent in supporting someone and yet not condoning his or her actions.
