Inmate Movements and Prison Uprisings: A Comparative Study.
Pederson, William D.
Social Science Quarterly, v59 n3 p509-24 Dec 1978
Fifteen "criminal" and political uprisings from inmate movements in American, Soviet, and German prisons are compared. Conditions of deprivation related to prison violence are linked with attitudinal, structural, and temporal factors. Findings are that inmate movements are a rare phenomenon in comparison with isolated prison uprisings. (KC)
