Declared Guilty, a Never-Ending Story
Declared Guilty, a Never-ending Story: An analysis of the impact of the criminal justice system upon the self Brian Steels BA (Behavioural Studies) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2005 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution Signed ……………………………………………………………….. Brian Steels Abstract This study explores the experience of people who have been publicly declared guilty. It retells the narratives of offenders from the point of arrest through to conviction and, where relevant, imprisonment and release. The experiences of close relatives are also explored and provide an important part of the thesis. These accounts are set against the institutional context of the criminal justice system and a systemic account of police, courts, prisons and community corrections is provided. The main aim of the study is to investigate and document the impact of the criminal justice process on offenders’ sense of ‘self’. At a theoretical level, the study is informed by symbolic interactionism, particularly the work of Erving Goffman. This enables the development of insights into issues such as loss, shame, humiliation and loss of self. The asymmetrical power relationship in which these feelings are engendered and maintained is emphasised. At the same time, the study records the level and types of resistance among the subjects of the criminal justice system. The findings are significant for our sociological understandings of the impact of being declared guilty, for they suggest that the criminal justice process per se contributes to a severely damaged self, and that the subjective experience of ‘being found guilty’ starts at the moment of arrest and persists well after sentencing as subjects try to re-integrate into the community with a record of conviction.

Although there appears to have been a significant improvement in the Ministry’s suicide prevention strategies system since the introduction of ARMS in December 1998, having considered the new initiatives and the concerns raised in submissions to my inquiry, in my view there remain a number of residual problems which have not been addressed by ARMS. IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES 11.2 As stated in Chapter 92 , the new format assessment forms introduced in late 1996 and modified in 1997 attracted almost universal criticism from nursing staff in submissions to my inquiry. The direction that nursing staff must classify a prisoner’s level of risk as high, medium or low attracted even greater opposition. Broadly speaking the
