Helping the next generation

I know you’ll be expecting a post on ‘generativity’ and desistance, but, no, this is just a request for help from one of the next generation of criminological researchers (well, perhaps). In which respect, I’m delighted to say that our work has made it into high school at last, as a result of which here’s the request in questions:

“My name is Alexander Fyfe and I am a sixth year pupil studying Advanced Higher Modern Studies [which, for the uninitiated is a sort of Scottish ‘A’ Level with bits of politics, sociology, social policy, etc]. I am writing a dissertation focussing on rehabilitation in prisons and how this might reduce recidivism. As part of my dissertation I have to conduct primary research  and I would therefore like to make contact with some current or former prisoners.  I would email you a short questionnaire that would focus on your experiences and perceptions of rehabilitation programs in prison. If you are willing to take part in my project, please email alexander.fyfe.msyp@sypmail.org.uk”

If anyone out there can help Alexander, please do contact him direct.
