Product Description
This book aims to present key aspects of prison bullying research that has taken place in the last few years. Bullying among prisoners is a field where there has been increased academic interest in recent years. One of the main features of this book is the recognition that the majority of previous bullying research has been descriptive in nature, with little underlying theory to assist its development as an area of academic interest. In addressing this need, this book will serve as an indispensable resource for students, academics and professionals with interests in this field. Chapters in the book address the following areas: the need for innovation in prison bullying research, statistics on bullying, combining methods to research prison bullying, bullying behaviour among women in prison, qualitative approaches to exploring bullying, bullying and suicides in prisons, bullying and the role of fear, applying evolutionary theory to prison bullying and applying social problem solving models to prison bullying.
