It is intended as a resource for psychologists, but will also be of value both to those who work in prisons and the general reader wishing to learn about this application of the discipline. Seven of the studies are theoretical in nature ...The remaining twenty-three papers are by psychologists employed within the Prison Service. Most of these reports have been circulated internally...They cover three areas; dealing with the selection and training of staff, the treatment of inmates, and the kind of research on which psychologists base their advice to management."--P.
