A comprehensive understanding of the causes of prison violence therefore requires consideration of both individual and prison characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Steiner, John Wooldredge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138552607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138552609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.00h x 1.60w x 0.40d","brand":"Benjamin Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126182047999,"sku":"9781138552609","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8f42675-64e9-4192-99fc-c41c200aee98.jpg?v=1687446725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-and-reducing-prison-violence-benjamin-steiner-9781138552609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
