For background on the project and the research methodology, please refer to the Introduction to the research report (entitled: "Hard Time(s): Women's Pathways to Crime and Incarceration, pages 1-18). The second and third sections of the research report describe the research context. The first of these sections, entitled Pre-Interview Survey of Women in Prison (pp. 19-27), describes the group of women that participated in our research (our sample), based on the surveys that each woman completed before their in-depth interview. The second provides an overview of the context of incarceration (pp. 31-49) in which the research took place. The information presented in these two sections is briefly summarised, followed by summations of our research findings. Research findings are primarily found in six sections of the report, as follows: - Context Matters: Families, Relationships & Traumatic Events - Poverty and Crime - History of Abuse - Domestic Violence - Caretaking and Responsibility - Addiction These findings are detailed and nuanced, and cannot be reduced to statistical data. This Addendum does its best to neatly summarise the findings without overly simplifying them. For a deeper understanding of the complexity of these issues, please refer to the complete research report. The final section of the research report contains a discussion of the findings, focusing on the gendered nature of crime and incarceration in South Africa as it emerges from this research. An overview of this discussion is provided in the final section of this Addendum. Details: Cape Town: Gender, Health and Justice Research Unit, University of Cape Town, 2012. 277p.
