• UCIP brought together a multidisciplinary and diverse team, combining expertise in theology, criminology and the sociology of religion, which was integrated under one overarching theoretical umbrella.
• To accomplish this integration, the overarching theoretical framework for UCIP was drawn from an academic philosophy called critical realism and, in particular, from the contribution made by the Principal Investigator through the development of the philosophy and social theory of Islamic critical realism (Wilkinson 2015a; 2018) and its application by our Coinvestigator (Quraishi, 2020).
• This critical realist framework provided a lens to make sense of the lives of Muslim prisoners in multiple, related ‘knock-on’ dimensions. For example, the dimensions of biology, sex-gender, the peer-group, education, employment and culture (Bhaskar, 2008; Irfan and Wilkinson, 2020) and, critically, included an evaluation of the religious Worldviews, religious practices and experiences of prison life.
• We provide a full technical account of our use of critical realist theory in other publications (Quraishi et al, 2021; Wilkinson et al, 2021).
