Bullying Among Prisoners

This book tackles the complex dynamics of bullying within the prison system, offering a critical examination of the challenges in defining and measuring this specific form of aggression. The author systematically identifies the core problems that have historically plagued research in this area, from inconsistent definitions to unreliable data collection methods. It serves as a foundational text for understanding the nuances of inmate-on-inmate abuse and the institutional factors that allow it to flourish.

What makes this work particularly valuable is its forward-looking approach, providing clear, actionable guidelines for how future studies on prisoner bullying should be conducted. It is an essential resource for criminology students, prison administrators, and researchers seeking to move beyond anecdotal evidence and build a more rigorous, evidence-based understanding of the problem. By establishing a methodological framework, the book empowers professionals to develop more effective interventions and policies aimed at creating safer correctional environments.
