This volume contains two Open Access Chapters.
Gender, Criminalization, Imprisonment and Human Rights in Southeast Asia features contributions from activist scholars grappling to understand and alleviate the compound sufferings of women and LGBTIQA+ persons as they encounter Southeast Asian criminal justice systems. The collection demonstrates that it is critical that the drivers of gendered harms and the way gendered needs intersect with other inequalities are better understood and adequately reflected in law, policy and practice.
Andrew M. Jefferson is a Senior Researcher at DIGNITY - Danish Institute against Torture. His work focuses on ethnographies of prisons and prison reform processes in the global south and has featured a range of collaborations with activist organizations engaged in torture prevention, human rights work, and prison reform. He co-convenes the Global Prisons Research Network. Aside from issues of prisons and comparative penality, interests include the relation between state and subject in transitional contexts, the hierarchization of human worth, and how to conceptualise human suffering under compromised circumstances. Andrew is author (with Liv Gaborit) of Human Rights in Prisons: Comparing Institutional Encounters in Kosovo, Sierra Leone and the Philippines. Samantha Jeffries is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice/Griffith Criminology Institute, Griffith University. Her research focuses on marginalized social statuses, criminalization, victimisation and justice. Samantha has conducted research on LGBTIQA+ domestic violence, the sex industry, problem-solving courts, sentencing, gender and Indigeneity. In focus more recently has been the needs and experiences of domestic violence victims in the family law system and restorative justice processes. Since 2015, she has been collaborating with the Thailand Institute of Justice undertaking studies in Southeast Asia and Kenya on gendered pathways to criminalization, women's experiences of imprisonment, as well as re-integration and human rights. She has co-authored a book on domestic violence, published articles in Criminology and the British Journal of Criminology and conducted training on the Bangkok Rules with prison personnel in Thailand, Kenya and Indonesia for the Thailand Institute of Justice and UNODC.
