Description and Table of Contents
Description
A detailed research project at the request of the Home Office is the basis for this study, focusing on three penal institutions, the inmates and staff. The authors begin by looking at the history of race relations policy and the way in which approaches to immigration and race relations legislation has helped to mold attitudes to race relations in our prisons. Racial stereotypes, staff and inmate perspectives, the problems associated with racial discrimination and the responses developed within the prison system to cope with discrimination are all examined. The book concludes by examining stumbling-blocks to future improvement and suggests reforms which may help to alleviate the most pressing problems. The study aims to demonstrate some of the difficulties which arise when attempts are made to identify and isolate racial problems and it identifies some of the problems which are implicit in formulating and enforcing policies designed to eradicate discriminating behaviour.
