'He's got a life sentence,but I have a life sentence to cope with as well' : the experiences of long-term prisoners' partners

Kotova, Anna January 2016 (has links)
There is a small, but growing, body of research on prisoners' families. It has shown that these families experience numerous pains and deprivations associated with imprisonment, ranging from financial hardship to social (stigma) and emotional issues (grief-like emotions). It has also been suggested that long sentences could exacerbate and prolong these problems. However, no studies on long-term prisoners' families specifically have yet been conducted in the UK. This study explores the experiences of 33 long-term prisoners' partners. Prison sociology, which has explored imprisonment, and long-term imprisonment specifically, is used to inform the analysis. Themes such as coping with the pains of imprisonment over time and with the length of the sentence and time passing are explored. It is also shown that partners are fundamentally changed, on an identity level, by a long sentence. Furthermore, stigma is explored, and it is argued that partners of long-term prisoners experience especially strong stigma and that it lasts for a long time indeed. Finally, this thesis considers how the partners outside 'do family' across prison walls, and how imprisonment makes this challenging indeed. In conclusion, it is argued that the experiences of prisoners' partners speak to the sociological research on imprisonment more broadly and that drawing on these experiences can develop the prison sociologist's knowledge about the broader sociological impact of imprisonment.

O efeito da família sobre o desempenho educacional da criança: uma análise do ensino fundamental brasileiro / Family effects on child\'s educational performance: an study of brazilian elementary school

Aquino, Juliana Maria de 14 February 2008 (has links)
Nos últimos anos a educação tem sido alvo de muitos estudos, o que provavelmente reflete a sua grande importância no contexto de uma nação. A análise da questão educacional geralmente abrange dois aspectos: o atendimento escolar e a qualidade do ensino. No que tange à inclusão escolar no Brasil, sabe-se que essa variável teve sucesso durante a última década, entretanto, com relação à qualidade de ensino o mesmo não pode ser dito. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar os determinantes do desempenho escolar das crianças brasileiras, tendo como foco principal a família. A abordagem do papel da família será realizada a partir de dois ensaios: análise do impacto da participação materna no mercado de trabalho sobre o desempenho educacional da criança e avaliação do papel exercido pela família em auxiliar a criança nas atividades escolares. O primeiro estudo utilizará os dados de duas sub-amostras da Pesquisa Mensal de Emprego (PME), dos anos de 1986 a 1995 e de 2002 a 2006. Já na segunda abordagem, serão utilizados os dados do Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Básica (SAEB), do ano de 2005, nos quais será analisado o desempenho dos estudantes das quartas séries do ensino fundamental. Em geral, os resultados indicaram evidências da relevância dos fatores familiares para os bons resultados escolares da criança, tanto pelo efeito negativo do trabalho materno como pelo efeito positivo de algumas variáveis de investimento e de interação familiar. / Recently, education has been examined by many studies, which reflects its great importance in the context of a nation. The analysis of the educational issue usually involves two aspects: school attendance and quality of education. With regard to Brazilian school attendance, it is known that this variable has had success over the last decade; however, the same can not be said about de quality of educational system. The aim of this research is to analyze the determinants of academic performance of Brazilian children, focusing on the family. The approach will analyze the impact of maternal labor on child educational performance and the role of the family in child school activities. The first study uses data from two sub-samples of Pesquisa Mensal de Emprego (PME), referring to periods from 1986 to 1995 and from 2002 to 2006. In the second approach, will be used data from Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Básica (SAEB) of 2005, where will be examined the students performance of the fourth series of primary school. The results, in general, show that family factors were relevant for child school performance, considering the negative effect of maternal employment and the positive effects of some variables of investment and family interaction.
