Rocks, Patrick D.
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v4 n1 p69-82 Jan-Mar 1985
A sample of 26 prisoners from 2 prisons in Northern Ireland were given a semantic differential questionnaire to assess their reasons for participation or non-participation in prison education and their attitudes toward education. Results indicated that positive attitudes are essential to participation and negative attitudes are part of a life-style including general resistance to change. (SK)
