Opis

Bullying in prisons can have severe consequences both for those directly involved and for the prison regime as a whole, yet the subject has been curiously neglected in the literature. Bullying Among Prisoners identifies problems in defining and measuring bullying, along with proposing guidelines on how research in this field should be conducted.

Recenzje

If what Dr Ireland preaches is put into practice, every prison ... should feel safe.' - From the foreword by Sir David Ramsbotham, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons 1995-2001
