American Correctional Association Paperback, 171 pp. 1998 ISBN 1569910782 Based on archives of prison violence, analysis of riots and disturbances, historical trends, and theories of violence, this publication functions beyond a basic resource on the causes of prison riots. It offers several interpretations of the complex processes involved in prison violence. The 'roots' of aggression and violence are addressed, beginning with a consideration of biological forces that may predispose some individuals to engage in such behavior. Several 'triggers' are discussed including: gangs, conflict with staff, food service, drugs/contraband and escape attempts. To order, go to www.amazon.com |
