Prison Violence Study

The researchers successfully interviewed 383 men and women in prison.  This is 11% of the total adult prison population in this state.  We are now coding our random sample into qualitative and quantitative data sets focusing on:

•  How do friendships in prison insulate you from violent action?
•  How do male and female inmates differ with regard to interpersonal relationships?
•  Are the relationships between inmates and staff important?
•  Do violent offenders commit more violent acts in prison than non-violent offenders?
•  What is the social context of prison violence?
