This manuscript explains the unique nature and characteristics of prison rape, as well as the various efforts that have been put forth to prevent its occurrence. The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 was adopted in order to build new knowledge about prison rape and mandate more effective prevention efforts. The requirements of Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 are detailed and an assessment of the potential effects of the legislation will be presented. It is estimated that the largest impact of PREA may be the new knowledge gathered on prison rape, while improvements in prevention efforts may be minimal and require more time to be noticeable. 2006-06-23 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1150924701 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1150924701 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
