This edited book explores prison masculinities, drawing from a wide
range of international researchers to highlight how masculinities may
divert from the "hypermasculine" or macho typology typically found in
the prison masculinities literature. The book includes a diverse
selection of writing on masculinities "in" and "of" prison;
masculinities experienced by those living within, working, and
experiencing prison as well as historical and critical accounts of
masculinities from around the world. The contributors highlight how
masculinities are experienced in a multitude of ways as is evidenced
in both qualitative and quantitative research with men before, during,
and after imprisonment; with correctional officers and staff; in the
analysis of public records, in the critical examination of Sykes’
seminal work; and in historical and contemporary Australian society.
Evidenced in writing drawn from Australia, the Dominican Republic,
Ukraine, Hong Kong, the United States, Scotland, and the Netherlands,
the contributors acknowledge that rather than being fixed, discourses
around prison masculinities now include sexuality, gender identity,
and diverse understandings around masculinities as strategic,
hegemonic, and ever changing. Prison Masculinities is important
reading for students and scholars across disciplines, including
criminology, sociology, gender studies, law, international relations,
history, health, psychology, and education. Chapter 4 of this book is
