This book is essential reading for researchers, policymakers, prison staff, and students in criminology, psychology, and social work seeking to deepen their understanding of sexual violence within prisons and develop informed prevention strategies.

Risk Markers for Sexual Victimization and Predation in Prison contains the results of Dr. Warren and Dr. Jackson’s study in response to the 2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act and extends the literature on prison rape in important and distinct ways.

Description

In 2003, the US Senate and Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), prompting a number of research projects that cumulatively began to broaden and deepen our understanding of this complex aspect of prison life.

Risk Markers for Sexual Victimization and Predation in Prison contains the results of Dr. Warren and Dr. Jackson’s study, and it extends the literature on prison rape in important and distinct ways. Their research, which encompasses the full continuum of sexual behaviour among incarcerated individuals, succeeds in identifying multi-layered predictive models for different types of sexual behaviour across and within genders.

The process by which the authors came to their study design, their experiences while implementing it, and the nature and significance of their findings, represent the content of this book.
