Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners
Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners Books
Product Description
In the past 30 years, the populace of prisoners in the United States has expanded nearly 5-fold, correctional facilities are increasingly overcrowded, and more of the people’s disadvantaged populations – racial minorities, women, people with mental illness, and people with communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis are below correctional supervision. Because prisoners face restrictions on liberty and autonomy, have limited privacy, and often receive inadequate health care, they require specific protections when caught up in research, particularly in today’s correctional settings.Given these issues, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Human Research Protections commissioned the Institute of Medicine to review the ethical considerations regarding research involving prisoners. The resulting analysis contained in this book, “Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners”, emphasizes five broad actions to provide prisoners caught up in research with critically vital protections: expand the definition of ‘prisoner’; make sure universally and consistently applied standards of protection; budge from a category-based to a risk-benefit approach to research review; update the ethical framework to include collaborative responsibility; and, enhance systematic oversight of research involving prisoners.
