Women in Prison International Penal and Penitentiary Foundation Series, Vol. 46
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : HEIN VAN KEMPEN Piet, KRABBE Maartje
Women are a rapidly growing minority in prisons. Prison systems, however,
have always been determined by the behaviour of men. The 2010 UN Bangkok
Rules form a body of rules that is specifically aimed at the needs of
women in prison. Being the first international instrument on this subject,
the Bangkok Rules can be considered a milestone. Thus this volume focuses
on the topic of women in prison in general, and on the Bangkok Rules in
particular.
The volume comprises an introductory chapter, seven thematic chapters, and 23 chapters dedicated to individual countries around the world. Themes discussed in these chapters include, among others, the (international) human rights framework applicable to women in prison, statistics and criminological factors relevant to women in prison, and the actual conditions of women in prison worldwide.
An extensive collection of expert knowledge, this volume intends to highlight both good practice in the context of women in prison and the many challenges that lie ahead.
