This chapter introduces challenges women face in the criminal justice system (CJS) and towards the families affected by imprisonment. It cites concerns about the ineffectual promise of change following the publication of the Female Offender Strategy by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) in England and Wales in 2018. It also talks about problems that lie with the social injustices that comprise the neoliberal and patriarchal society. The chapter outlines factors that constitute the inadequate social circumstances that women and families in contact with the CJS have had to negotiate, such as issues pertaining to housing, education, poverty, mental health, addiction, and abuse. It mentions the Women, Family, Crime and Justice (WFCJ) research network that was launched in April 2018 to provide a collaborative space to bring together like-minded people to critically discuss, disseminate and address some of the injustices.

This chapter looks at the effects of maternal imprisonment on children and reviews findings that show that few children remain in the family home when their mother is imprisoned. It acknowledges that outcomes may be adverse for any child experiencing parental imprisonment, but it also emphasizes that having a mother imprisoned can cause more negative outcomes for the child than having a father imprisoned. The chapter mentions that the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCFS) and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) made strong recommendations to use parental entry into prison to enable the secure sharing of relevant information between agencies, and the systematic assessment and support of the child. It cites research that consistently shows that the outcomes for children of prisoners are poor. It also talks about studies that indicate that children of people in prison are more likely to have mental health issues and suffer emotional distress.

This chapter recounts the influx of South Asian migrants to the UK since 1947, which was motivated by a need to escape civil war, to seek better economic opportunities, for marriage or to join family members. It cites the 2011 census indicating that South Asians represent the largest minority group in Britain and many of them are contributing to economic, social, and political life. It highlights the disadvantages of South Asian women migrants, such as language barriers, lack of education, lack of skills, poor-quality housing, unemployment, and specific forms of violence associated with the various cultural and religious practices that define their identity. The chapter discusses the increase in gender-based power imbalance that reinforces the patriarchal structures of both the host and migrant cultures, which leads to the further marginalisation and victimisation of women.

This chapter deals with the use of short terms of incarceration, which is considered problematic for women as it represents a disproportionate punishment due to the enduring harms caused. It points out that neither remand nor short prison sentences provide support to women, instead it causes tangible issues with finances, education, employment, and housing, or consequences to health and wellbeing. It also emphasizes why prison is rarely a fitting punishment for women with non-violent offences or have a low-risk status. The chapter explores the enduring harms of first short terms of imprisonment with the aim of providing practical recommendations to mitigate future harm. It presents post-custody interviews with mothers that have experienced a short period in prison for the first time for a nonviolent offence, dwelling on how they continue to be impacted by their experience post-custody.

This chapter highlights what is understood by feminist research, emphasising that it is research informed by broader feminist principles via its topic, design, process, analysis, and researcher reflexivity. It discusses how mothers themselves assisted in shaping the research decisions, research tools, and the methodology, and explores the researcher/research relationship and its significance. It also presents that the research project sought to generate knowledge and understanding about parental imprisonment. The chapter explains why feminist research has proved challenging, even to the point of reaching a consensus that feminist research has a distinct and separate identity. It cites difficulties in differentiating between feminist research and good research.

This chapter explains that the experiences of criminalised women are varied and complex and are often dictated by a woman's intersectional position within society. It highlights the aspects of criminalised women's experiences, elaborating how criminalised women's lives are shaped by institutions of social control and structures of punishment. It also conceptualizes the shared experiences of women through a boardgame, allowing the subjugated experience of navigating community punishment as a criminalised woman to be conveyed to academic researchers, criminal justice practitioners, and policy makers. The chapter narrates the findings of a piece of feminist participatory action research that was completed with criminalised women in North West England. It captures the way in which punishment intersects with women's daily lives.

This chapter highlights the research network of the Women, Family, Crime and Justice (WFCJ), which provided a platform to share knowledge and experiences of women and families to deal with the challenges in criminal and social justice. It reviews WFCJ's collection of works that aims to bring together practitioners, external agencies, service users, academics, and researchers in a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, and unrestricted forum. It also discusses WFCJ research network's commitment to facilitating and influencing positive change via sharing of knowledge, critically exploring, and informing research and policy. The chapter deals with the obligation of WFCJ to feminist principles of equality and reflexivity. It revisits recurring themes on stigma and shame; power, equality, and agency; access to appropriate services and failure to meet needs; and family and relationships.

This chapter highlights the growing interest in the field of criminology and women's recovery and rehabilitation in hopes of developing a trauma-informed approach across the criminal justice system. It details the aim of the approach in recognising the ways in which trauma can manifest within the behaviour and lives of individuals. It also mentions the trajectory of the ‘becoming trauma-informed’ movement that has steadily infiltrated women's services and policy strategies within the UK since the early 2000s. The chapter talks about the interest in women's vulnerabilities and experiences of previous trauma that intensified after the release of the Corston Report, which encouraged the greater use of safe women-only spaces, women's centres, and tailored services. It explores the impact, value, and nuances from a dual perspective of support services for women with histories of sex work.
