Prison Violence

Conflict, power and vicitmization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Prisons are notoriously dangerous places, yet the crimes perpetrated by prisoners on other prisoners have attracted little interest, and criminological research has contributed little to an understanding of situations in which violence arises in penal institutions. This book seeks to remedy this, and pioneers a conflict-centred approach to tackling prison violence which focuses on interpersonal and institutional dynamics rather than on individual psychological factors.
