The article discusses the challenges of using photovoice in research on life after immigration detention and deportation. The researchers tried to use participant-generated visuals to explore themes like home and identity, but faced difficulties due to methodological, logistical, ethical, and political issues. This highlights the limitations of photovoice in studying individuals who have experienced detention and deportation. The study emphasizes the importance of considering these challenges when using visual methods in criminological research.
