A bibliometric review of research on resilience, motivation and prisoners, 1912-2024

This review synthesizes a century of research into a coherent intellectual map, identifying key trends, gaps, and structural imbalances in the field. The findings highlight the need for more inclusive, culturally responsive, and structurally informed research frameworks that integrate psychological, institutional, and social dimensions of rehabilitation. Advancing this agenda is essential for developing correctional policies and interventions that are both empirically robust and globally relevant.
