“…Research participants shaping research questions is not an overly common approach and seems relatively rare in criminology, but this does occur in some participatory research projects ( Baum et al 2006 ; Agee 2009 ; Stringer 2013 ). PAR projects have been implemented in prison settings where participants have contributed to the design of research questions ( Fine et al 2003 ; Fine and Torre 2006 ; Payne and Bryant 2018 ; Haverkate et al 2020 ); this project builds on these approaches.…”

The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into the impact of COVID-19 in the Scottish Prison Estate. During the 2020 lockdown in prison in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all face-to-face research was paused. In response to this methodological challenge, a participatory correspondence methodology was designed, enabling project participants to influence the direction of this project through suggesting research questions. The main project findings relate to the analysis of ways in which the COVID-19 enhanced the pains of imprisonment for participants, exploring the challenges that the participants faced in relation to communication, feelings of heightened isolation and detachment from family, friends and the normal rhythms of life in prison. Analysis of the letters received as part of this study provides unique insights into the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic in custody has added an additional layer or enhancement to pre-pandemic pains of imprisonment, increasing the ‘tightness’ ‘depth’ and ‘weight’ of participants time in custody.

“…Greater awareness of the individual and structural factors leading to a "street identity" would undoubtedly improve trust with police. Sites of resilience (SOR) theory frames a street identity and especially illegal activity as a resilient response to structural inequality (Payne, 2011;Payne and Bryant, 2018). "Street life," "the streets" or a "street" identity is a phenomenological language that speaks to values grounded in personal, social and economic survival.…”

PurposeWhile the past few decades have witnessed a substantial number of studies on public attitudes toward the police, a relatively thin line of inquiry has focused exclusively on low income urban Black-Americans, and especially street-identified Black populations. The purpose of this paper, however, is to examine trust in police amongst street-identified Black men and women.Design/methodology/approachRelying on a street participatory action research methodological approach, the authors collected survey data (N = 520) from two low-income unban Black neighborhoods, to examine the effects of an instrumental model versus an expressive model on procedural- and outcome-based trust in police.FindingsThe findings suggested a community sample of street-identified Black men and women were able to differentiate between procedural- and outcome-based trust. The instrumental model was better in predicting procedural-based trust in police, while the expressive model accounted better for outcome-based trust in police.Research limitations/implicationsImplications for street participatory action research methodology, future research and policy are also discussed.Originality/valueThis paper is an original manuscript.

“…Connecting such wellness to a theoretical reflection on social justice, environmental justice, and the ontology of the self has to be combined with practical engagement so that it can become a praxis of transformation. This praxis has been focused in a variety of settings, including liberation arts (Simms, 2019), participatory action research (O'Neill, 2018;Payne & Bryant, 2018), and the ongoing work of individuals and community organizations and groups to apply liberatory models and approaches to creating and supporting wellness and challenging privilege and power.…”

Directive vs. Non-directive Clinical Approaches: Liberation Psychology and Muslim Mental Health

Liberation psychology (LP) is a psychological framework that emphasizes social justice as a key component of mental health, defined in LP as the ability of human beings to co-exist, live in harmony, and thrive in community. Muslim mental health as a clinical focus continues to develop, and most writing emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity in providing effective care for Muslims, which the literature often relates to the collectivistic nature of Muslim majority societies. The literature, in turn, often uses collectivistic tendencies and research to support 1-on-1 directive approaches. This paper questions the use of such directive approaches as potentially re-creating a model of hierarchy and dominance that is connected to Muslims’ mental health challenges, particularly those of Muslim sub-populations. The authors suggest and discuss several LP-based alternatives, especially the use of group therapy as a more appropriate and culturally responsive model, from both di-rective and non-directive clinical orientations.
