Research

This Simple Space is a leading organisation in advancing public knowledge about the criminal justice system and families who come into contact with it by providing workshops and research consultancy in this area.

We have over ten years of experience and work on projects exclusively, or with other organisations, where our services include, but are not limited to, conducting comprehensive literature reviews, systematic reviews; developing and conducting research in correctional settings; data collection and analysis, coding; transcribing; coding and analysis using NVIVo11; liaising and reporting with academic chief investigators and government/non-government partner organisations; conference presentations; and writing for publication.

For examples of our work, visit Tess Bartlett’s about page or contact Tess on Research Gate.
