The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This article discusses findings from one phase of a research study funded by the Learning and Skills Development Agency, which aims to improve the thinking and communication skills of prisoners in England and Wales. Perceptions and discussions about a qualitative case study of an offending behaviour intervention - Enhanced Thinking Skills - is presented, which includes perceptions of the ETS experience. Discussions include factors which affect the delivery of the programme, such as group climate and dynamics, personality differences, responses of inmates and accounts of motivation. These are set in the context of current criminal justice policy within England and Wales.
