This research aims to explore factors influencing trust in a prison population of highly traumatised young females, with a view to to determining methods of promoting trust in an environment where trauma prevails and distrust is socially and culturally engrained. Trust is essential for social functioning. Violate trust, and the world becomes a hostile, threatening and treacherous place. Young female offenders are commonly victims of chronic interpersonal physical and sexual abuse, resulting in severe traumatisation categorised by an acute loss of trust in people and society. Prison officers working closely with this population are themselves vulnerable to secondary traumatisation, further impeding relations between prisoners and staff. Moreover, distrust is often entrenched in prison culture, with its basis in wider, sociologically informed beliefs. Rehabilitation, therefore, presents a series of significant, gender-specific challenges.

本研究旨在探讨影响高度创伤的年轻女性的监狱人口中的信任的因素，以确定在创伤普遍存在且不信任在社会和文化上根深蒂固的环境中促进信任的方法。信任对社会功能至关重要。违背信任，世界就会变成一个充满敌意、威胁和背信弃义的地方。年轻的女性罪犯通常是长期人际间身体和性虐待的受害者，导致严重的创伤，被归类为对人和社会的信任严重丧失。与这些人密切合作的监狱官员本身也容易受到二次创伤，进一步阻碍了囚犯与工作人员之间的关系。此外，不信任往往在监狱文化中根深蒂固，其基础是更广泛的、有社会学依据的信念。因此，康复提出了一系列重大的、针对性别的挑战。
