Sport in Prison: Exploring the Role of Physical Activity in Correctional Settings: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Sport in Prison: Exploring the Role of Physical Activity in Correctional Settings" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Although prison can present a critical opportunity to engage with offenders through interventions and programming, reoffending rates among those released from prison remain stubbornly high. Sport can be a means through which to engage with even the most challenging and complex individuals caught up in a cycle of offending and imprisonment, by offering an alternative means of excitement and risk taking to that gained through engaging in offending behaviour, or by providing an alternative social network and access to positive role models.

This is the first book to explore the role of sport in prisons and its subsequent impact on rehabilitation and behavioural change. The book draws on research literature on the beneficial role of sport in community settings and on prison cultures and regimes, across disciplines including criminology, psychology, sociology and sport studies, as well as original qualitative and quantitative data gathered from research in prisons. It unpacks the meanings that prisoners and staff attach to sport participation and interventions in order to understand how to promote behavioural change through sport most effectively, while identifying and tackling the key emerging issues and challenges.

Sport in Prison is essential reading for any advanced student, researcher, policy-maker or professional working in the criminal justice system with an interest in prisons, offending behaviour, rehabilitation, sport development, or the wider social significance of sport.

Sport in Prison
Exploring the role of physical activity in correctional settings
Rosie Meek
Bridging literature from diverse fields, and combining theoretical insight with an unusually broad range of empirical sources, Rosie Meek has provided a vital analysis of the history, role and potential benefits of sports and physical activity in prisons. Sport in Prison is a groundbreaking and well-grounded book and it deserves a wide readership.
Dr Ben Crewe, University of Cambridge, Institute of Criminology, UK
With an abundance of negative information about prison cultures, Sport in Prisons is a refreshing look at how even simple programs such as physical education can make a positive difference for staff and residents of these institutions. Dr. Meek makes a compelling case to invest in sports programs in prisons while also providing critical knowledge about organizational and other barriers to implementing these changes. Given the rampant problems associated with prisons worldwide, this book will most certainly appeal to an international audience.
Associate Professor Laura S. Abrams, UCLA, Luskin School of Public Affairs, USA
There is a dangerous, tabloid-led movement afoot in the UK that seeks to reduce prisoner gym access and involvement in sport. Meeks thoughtful, rigorous analysis of the impacts of such activities on prisoners and prison climates is precisely what is needed to combat such blatant stupidity. It should be widely read by those genuinely interested in a rehabilitation revolution.
Professor Shadd Maruna, Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Queens University Belfast, N. Ireland
