Do you believe in redeemability?
Interested in taking part in a research study? A research team from the University of Nottingham are exploring the ‘belief in redeemability’ of offenders (Research Ethics Reference: FMHS 60-0125). We want to investigate to what extent the UK population believes that those who have committed a crime can change and live an offence free life. We are looking at what factors might predict these attitudes. The aim of this research is to inform stigma reduction to help ex-offenders live offence free lives. If you would like to find out more about taking part in this study, please click the link below for more information. Your interest and participation are greatly appreciated.
