Abstract

The understanding of vulnerability in this chapter is informed by Ten Have’s approach to the concept. We consider how children and prisoners which are seen as vulnerable groups by researchers, have “double vulnerability” in common and explore the interrelated factors which impact their external and internal conditions of vulnerability. This is followed by a pragmatic consideration of the ethical aspects of doing research with these groups. We conclude the chapter highlighting the importance of including children and prisoners in research.
