Appreciative Inquiry into response diversity

项目摘要

Responding to diversity within the prisons setting is a complex and challenging process and HM Prison Service is still developing and refining its national policy framework to ensure that its responsibilities under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act (2000), the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) and the new Equalities Act (2010) are met. Within this wider framework each individual prison is required to develop their own local policy framework to promote equality and reduce discrimination in relation to seven 'protected characteristics' of diversity; age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnerhip and pregnancy and maternity (MOJ, 2011). The present research builds on a previous ESRC funded pilot project undertaken by the researchers which aimed to develop and test a methodology for exploring the response to diversity in prisons. It aims to employ the methodology more widely within the Prison Service to develop a body of knowledge about the response to diversity using three prisons from the Yorkshire region as case studies. The choice of sites is influenced by the need to capture the experiences of prisoners and prison staff across a range of different security categories and types of prison and includes; HMP Wakefield, a maximum-security prison accommodating adult male prisoners convicted of very serious offences, serving long sentences and who may continue to pose a risk to others (including prison staff, other prisoners and, if they were to escape, the general public); HMP Leeds, a 'Local/Remand' prison accommodating adult male prisoners awaiting court appearances, prisoners awaiting allocation to other prisons and prisoners serving short sentences; and HMP Lindholme, a Category C prison accommodating prisoners, over the age of 21,allocated a relatively low security category. The population includes prisoners serving life sentences who may have served a substantial period of their sentence elsewhere and prisoners serving shorter sentences. The three year research project will illustrate:o how prisoners in diverse minority groupings experience the diversity policies and procedures in place at each establishment,o which aspects of policies, procedures and practices in each prison are perceived by minority groups to promote feelings of respect and well-being,o how prison staff experience the policies and procedures that guide their practice with prisoners from diverse minority groupings, and,o ways in which diversity policies, procedures and practices in each prison could be improved to promote a greater feeling of respect and well-being in minority groups.It will also explore and develop theories of intersectionality as a way of understanding how people experience prison life. Commonly, aspects of personhood such as ethnicity, religion, and sexuality are deemed to be distinct aspects of experience which determine the political, social and economic dynamics of oppression. Theories of intersectionality recognise these aspects as commonly overlaying one another, creating complex intersections at which several aspects may meet. They can address the ways in which policies and the actions of those implementing policies can operate together to create discrimination and disempowerment, and offer a means of accounting for the ways in which forms of discrimination structure the relative positions of people of diverse minorities. These aims will be met combining four stages of data collection: an appreciative ethnography of the relationship between official diversity policies and procedures and the knowledge and practices of staff, interviews with prisoners' representative of diverse minority groupings from all wings of each prison, a survey of all prisoners in each prison, focus groups with staff from the residential wings and other departments across each prison.

应对监狱环境中的多样性是一个复杂和具有挑战性的过程，皇家监狱管理局仍在制定和完善其国家政策框架，以确保履行《种族关系（修正）法》（2000年）、《残疾歧视法》（1995年）和新的《平等法》（2010年）规定的职责。在这一更广泛的框架内，每个监狱都必须制定自己的地方政策框架，以促进平等，减少与多样性的七个“受保护特征”有关的歧视：年龄、残疾、性别重置、种族、宗教或信仰、性取向、婚姻和民事伴侣关系以及怀孕和生育（法务省，2011年）。目前的研究建立在以前的ESRC资助的试点项目进行的研究人员，其目的是开发和测试的方法，探索在监狱中的多样性的反应。它的目的是利用约克郡地区的三所监狱作为案例研究，在监狱管理局内更广泛地采用这一方法，以发展一套关于对多样性作出反应的知识。地点的选择受到需要收集囚犯和监狱工作人员在一系列不同安全类别和类型监狱中的经验的影响，包括; HMP韦克菲尔德，一所安全级别最高的监狱，关押被判犯有非常严重罪行、正在服长期徒刑且可能继续对他人构成风险的成年男性囚犯HMP利兹，一所“地方/还押”监狱，收容等待出庭的成年男性囚犯、等待分配到其他监狱的囚犯和短期服刑的囚犯;而HMP Lindholme是一所C类监狱，收容21岁以上的囚犯，其安全级别相对较低。人口中包括可能已在其他地方服了很长一段刑期的无期徒刑囚犯和刑期较短的囚犯。为期三年的研究项目将说明：o各少数群体的囚犯如何体验各监狱实行的多样性政策和程序，o各监狱的政策、程序和做法的哪些方面被少数群体认为有助于增进尊重感和福祉，o监狱工作人员如何体验指导其对各少数群体囚犯的做法的政策和程序，以及，o多样性政策，每个监狱的程序和做法都可以改进，以促进更大的尊重感和良好的它还将探索和发展交叉性理论，作为理解人们如何经历监狱生活的一种方式。通常，种族、宗教和性等人格方面被认为是决定压迫的政治、社会和经济动力的不同经验方面。交叉性理论认为这些方面通常相互重叠，创造了几个方面可能相遇的复杂交叉点。它们可以解决政策和执行政策者的行动如何共同造成歧视和剥夺权力的问题，并提供一种手段，说明各种形式的歧视如何构成不同少数群体人民的相对地位。这些目标将通过以下四个阶段的数据收集工作来实现：对官方多样性政策和程序与工作人员的知识和做法之间的关系进行有价值的人种志研究;与各监狱所有配楼的不同少数群体的囚犯代表进行访谈;对各监狱的所有囚犯进行调查;与各监狱住宿配楼和其他部门的工作人员进行重点小组调查。
