Title: Trends in Self-inflicted Deaths and Self-harm in Prisons in England and Wales (2001-2008): In Search of a New Research Paradigm
Summary: No one would dispute the fact that offenders, whether in prison or elsewhere in the criminal justice system, are an alienated group where it would be predicted that self-inflicted deaths (SIDs) rates are higher than for the general population. This paper examines recent trends in SIDs and self-harm in English and Welsh prisons and discusses the implications of such data for future research across the whole offender pathway in England and Wales.
