The current article is part of a unique comparative study of the experiences and adjustment of 190 incarcerated young men in both Scotland and Canada. In collecting data on the participants' lives, the authors learned of the multiple traumas and losses many of them had suffered. Many participants however seemed to adhere to a prison masculinity that may constrain help-seeking behavior. Ultimately, this article analyses the levels of trauma that exists in a population of incarcerated young men within the context and alongside of the masculine ideals they appeared to adhere to. This article advocates for gender-responsive trauma-informed care for incarcerated young men that incorporates an exploration and understanding of masculine identity and how it interacts with help-seeking and trauma recovery.
本文是一项独特的比较研究的一部分,该研究涉及190名苏格兰和加拿大被监禁青年男性的经历与适应情况。在收集有关参与者生活的数据时,作者了解到他们中许多人遭受了多重创伤和损失。然而,许多参与者似乎坚持一种监狱中的男子气概观念,这可能会限制他们寻求帮助的行为。最终,本文分析了在被监禁青年男性群体中存在的创伤程度,同时结合他们似乎所坚持的男性理想观念进行探讨。本文倡导为被监禁青年男性提供具有性别敏感性的创伤知情护理,其中包括对男性身份认同的探索和理解,以及它如何与寻求帮助和创伤恢复相互作用。
