There is substantial research evidence to support the claim that violence is a reaction to the deprivation imposed by institutions such as prisons.

(1995) found that overcrowding in prisons significantly increased peer violence. This knowledge has been applied in the treatment of violent offenders in UK prisons (Wilson, 2005). Wilson lowered overcrowding and other environmental \u2018pollutants\u2019 (noise and heat) associated with prison deprivation, achieving a significant decrease in violence. However,, research in this area has not produced reliable results, with other studies in prisons (e.g. Nijman, 1997) failing to decrease violence levels with lower levels of overcrowding. This suggests that deprivation alone cannot fully account for institutional aggression in prison populations..", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
