Drawing on a range of research and media sources to provide an international perspective on the topic of prison violence, this book focuses on the impact of such violence on the individual both while he or she is incarcerated and upon his or her release from prison, as well as on society as a whole. With a special emphasis on comparisons of violence among incarcerated populations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, Prison Violence: Causes, Consequences and Solutions explores the various systems that exist to combat the problem, whilst also considering public perceptions of offenders and punishment, as influenced by media and coverage of high-profile cases. Providing a comprehensive analysis of prison violence on national and international levels, this book examines the extent of the problem, theoretical understandings of the issue and concrete solutions designed to prevent and handle such violence. As such, it will be of interest to policy makers as well as scholars of sociology, criminology and penology.

The tenth and final novel in the Catrin Sayer series. In the middle of family upheaval during the Covid pandemic, Catrin Sayer takes a career development assignment with the Devon and Cornwall Police. There, at the rank of superintendent, she chairs a reorganisation task force, a far cry from her former operational roles with the Metropolitan Police. During her contract, the violent deaths of a man and his daughter in Tavistock are linked to an art theft. Art crime being Sayer’s core expertise, she suddenly has two roles: chair of the task force and oversight of the team investigating the murders. After one perpetrator is identified and arrested, Sayer’s actions to achieve further arrests place her career as a police officer at risk.
