Lightning Talk: New Directions in Health Criminology

Session Submission Type: Lightning Talk Session

Abstract/Description

The focus of this panel is new directions in health criminology, such as new research questions, novel data or methodological approaches, theory development, expansive definitions of health, and more. The panelists will present a broad set of critical topics, including new data and data challenges related to incarceration and health, expansive definitions of health for clinical and therapeutic staff who work with incarcerated persons and their families, expanding theory to holistically understand police officer health and wellbeing, measurement and conceptual challenges for understanding how weight impacts how one interacts with the criminal legal system, disability justice for women and decisions around institutionalization and medicalization as a means of correction, and integrated health care in tribal carceral settings as a transformative solution. This lightning panel is curated to be short and provocative, raise questions and build collaborations, and energize scholars and activists interested in the intersection of health and the criminal legal system.
