Understanding and Reducing Prison Violence considers both the
individual and prison characteristics associated with violence
perpetration and violent victimization among both prison inmates
and staff. Prison violence is not a random process; rates of
violence vary across prisons and the odds of perpetrating violence
or experiencing violent victimization vary across inmates and
staff. A comprehensive understanding of the causes of prison
violence therefore requires consideration of both individual and
prison characteristics. Building on large dataset comprising 5,500
inmates and 1,800 officers across 45 prisons located across two of
the United States (Ohio and Kentucky), this book showcases one of
the largest and most comprehensive studies of prisons carried out
to date. It considers both the implications of the study for
theories of prison violence and the implications of the study for
preventing violence in prisons. It will be of interest to
academics, practitioners, and policy makers alike.
