Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title, first published in 1981, draws from an extensive range of national and local material, and examines how innovations in policy and administration, while solving problems or setting new objectives, frequently created or disclosed fresh difficulties, and brought different types of people into the administration and management of prisons, whose interests, values and expectations in turn often had significant effects upon penal ideas and their practical applications. Special attention has been paid to the study of recruitment, the work and influence of gaolers, keepers, governors, and highly administrative officials. This comprehensive book will be of interest to students of criminology and history.

Download or read book Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners written by Committee on Ethical Considerations for Revisions to DHHS Regulations for Protection of Prisoners Involved in Research and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-01-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 30 years, the population of prisoners in the United States has expanded almost 5-fold, correctional facilities are increasingly overcrowded, and more of the country's disadvantaged populations—racial minorities, women, people with mental illness, and people with communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis—are under correctional supervision. Because prisoners face restrictions on liberty and autonomy, have limited privacy, and often receive inadequate health care, they require specific protections when involved in research, particularly in today's correctional settings. Given these issues, the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Human Research Protections commissioned the Institute of Medicine to review the ethical considerations regarding research involving prisoners. The resulting analysis contained in this book, Ethical Considerations for Research Involving Prisoners, emphasizes five broad actions to provide prisoners involved in research with critically important protections: • expand the definition of "prisoner"; • ensure universally and consistently applied standards of protection; • shift from a category-based to a risk-benefit approach to research review; • update the ethical framework to include collaborative responsibility; and • enhance systematic oversight of research involving prisoners.

This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book The Management of Correctional Institutions written by Marilyn D. McShane and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1993 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 1 (pages 1 to 68) presents an overview of the literature on prison management, and the results of a national survey of wardens which enquired into actual management styles, problem-solving techniques, and decision-making approaches. The national survey aimed to determine how much the literature reflected the wardens' management practices. Findings showed that corrections management largely reflects the literature in that it has inconsistencies, an emphasis on personnel experience, and an inward focus. These results were used to develop a perspective focusing on a humane and caring relationship between manager and staff. Section 2 (pages 72 to 301) contains abstracts of the 100 'most important works, both essay and research, on correctional institution management'.
