Abstract

This chapter looks at the potential for former undergraduate students to become what we term ‘agents of Public Criminology’. Specifically, we interview graduates who took an Inside-Out module at Cardiff University. Inside-Out is a transformative education programme in which undergraduates learn alongside imprisoned learners. For Loader and Sparks, questions of ‘Public Criminology’ are those that bring criminological knowledge into public debate with the aim of achieving changes in attitudes, political discourses and, crucially, policy. The authors of this chapter, a former Outside Student and a former Inside-Out course leader, consider the potential for Inside-Out education to act as a form of public criminology. In order to evaluate how former students may or may not have come to act as agents of public criminology, we build on the idea that the course triggers a ‘ripple effect’ by which its impacts might emanate from the classroom into broader contexts.
