Summary:

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 behavior among incarcerated individuals, succeeds in identifying multi-layered predictive models for different types of sexual behavior 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. Janet I. Warren, DSW, is Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences in the University of Virginia School of Medicine and Director of the Restoring Youth program at the Institute of Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy at the University, of Virginia. She is the University of Virginia liaison to the Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI and a member of the FBI National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime Research Advisory Board. She is an associate of Park Dietz and Associates (PD&A) and a practicing psychoanalyst in Charlottesville, Virginia. Book jacket.
