Generativity in young male (ex)prisoners: caring for self, other, and future within prison and beyond

作为战略性基础研究，该项目将为从业者和学者提供亟需的定性数据，了解监禁的社会、文化和情感层面，以及这些因素如何影响羁押内外的生活。这些知识对于制定政策和做法至关重要，这些政策和做法能够有效地降低澳大利亚所有州和地区的高再监率。重要的是，对再生性的关注提供了一种新的概念视角，通过它可以重新思考监禁的理念和做法，更具体地说，是对国内和国际上占监狱人口大多数的人(年轻男性)的囚犯管理或“一条龙照料”。

As strategic basic research, the project will provide practitioners and academics with much needed qualitative data on the social, cultural and emotional dimensions of incarceration and how these impact life within and beyond custody. Such knowledge is critical for developing policies and practices capable of meaningfully reducing the high rates of reincarceration in all Australian states and territories. Importantly, the focus on generativity offers a new conceptual lens through which to reconsider the philosophy and practice of imprisonment, and, more specifically, to prisoner management or 'through-care' with regard to those who constitute the majority of the prison population nationally and internationally (young males).
