1st Edition
Beyond Autoethnography Lived Experience Criminology
Highlighting the complex human realities that exist within the criminal justice system, this book foregrounds scholars and activists who harness their own encounters with policing, courts, and imprisonment to recast criminological theory, method, and policy, proving lived experience as an important aspect of criminological and sociological enquiry.
Grounding lived experiences within broader sociological, psychological, and criminological theories, this book advocates ethically established perspectives that centre marginalised voices and embed lived experience wisdom, knowledge, and expertise in scholarship and professional practice.
Beyond Autoethnography: Lived Experience Criminology will be of interest to students, scholars, and criminal justice professionals.

'As this important new collection vividly demonstrates, the ways that criminology engages with lived experiences are changing. Increasingly, lived experiences are valued not merely as ‘data’ for academics to interpret and analyse. Rather, they are seen as hard-earned and embodied forms of knowledge with which criminology must engage in a dialogue characterised above all by respect. The first part of that dialogue, for criminologists, has to be a deep and self-critical form of listening. I hope readers will hear and heed the diverse and important voices contained in this collection; there is so much to learn from them and with them.'
Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology and Social Work, University of Glasgow'The collection, edited by Maycock, Antojado, and Darley, provides a compelling exposure to the three arms of the justice system – policing, courts, and correctional services -with both an academic and lived experience lens across four sections, the final focused on “applying lived experience”. With poetry and evidence, the humanness underpinning legal processes is centralized to create a reflective text leaving the reader with much to ponder, good and bad. An essential and powerful contribution to understanding justice, empathy, and the transformative potential of lived experience – definitely, a must read!'
