About this site

This website archives a blog originally situated at the same URL, and which was posted to actively between around 2018 and 2020. It describes PhD research done by Ben Jarman, a criminologist based (at the time of writing, in 2023) at ICPR, part of Birkbeck College in London. The PhD was a study of life imprisonment.

Because this website shows archived content which has been moved from a paid to a free web server, it is not being worked on actively and parts of it may go out of date or cease to work. Sections of text may show strange gobbets of code, or pictures might be missing. Efforts were made to update internal links within the site, and the text should be more or less intact. You might also be able to find the site as originally posted via a web archive such as the Wayback Machine.

The original pages about the project, about Ben, and about the funders of the research, can be found by clicking the links.

Hopefully you’ll find the site, even in its archived form, useful in some way. You are welcome to contact Ben via the Birkbeck profile page linked above or via Linked In. Longer lists of his publications, including the PhD work this site contributed to, can be found at those locations too.
