Abstract
Chapter 3, by Maggie O’Neill and Alison Jobe, centres on participatory research interviews with women who sell or have sold sex and have spent time in prison. In articulating the relationship between private troubles and social issues (Mills, 1970), the authors argue that women’s narratives point to future possible trajectories and modes of doing justice with women, working against the grain of what Hudson (2006) calls ‘white man’s justice’. This is an example of participatory, biographical narrative research as criminological imagination that enables us ‘to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within society’ (Mills, 1970: 6; Carlen, 2010; Seal and O’Neill, 2019). In Criminal Women , the prison regime is described as being based around the will to ‘discipline, infantalize, feminize, medicalize and domesticate’ (Carlen et al, 1985: 162), and in the final part of this chapter the authors reflect on the extent to which this relates to women’s experiences of the CJS, and how this has changed or stayed the same over time.
