What future for body searches in prisons?. 330 $aThis book explores and addresses body search practices in prison environments from different angles (criminology, sociology, human rights and law) and discusses such practices in different national contexts within Europe. Body searches are widely used in prison systems across the globe: they are perceived as indispensable to prevent forbidden substances, weapons or communication devices from entering the prison. However, these are also invasive and potentially degrading control techniques. It should not come as a surprise, then, that body searches are deeply contested security measures and that they have been widely debated and regulated. What makes theses control measures problematic in a prison context? How do these practices come to be regulated in an international and European context? How are rules translated into national law? To what extent are laws and rules respected, bent, circumvented and denied? And what does the future hold for body searches? Tom Daems is Professor of Criminology at the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC), KU Leuven, Belgium. At LINC, he coordinates the research line on ?Punishment and Control?. Daems has published widely on punishment and prisons, in particular from a European perspective. With Palgrave, he previously published Electronic Monitoring: Tagging Offenders in a Culture of Surveillance (2020) and Europe in Prisons: Assessing the Impact of European Institutions on National Prison Systems (2017, co-edited with Luc Robert). . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology,$x2753-0612 606 $aCorrections 606 $aPunishment 606 $aCriminology 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects 606 $aCritical criminology 606 $aLaw$xEurope 606 $aPrison and Punishment 606 $aCrime Control and Security 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aSociology of the Body 606 $aCritical Criminology 606 $aEuropean Law 615 0$aCorrections. 615 0$aPunishment. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCritical criminology. 615 0$aLaw$xEurope. 615 14$aPrison and Punishment. 615 24$aCrime Control and Security. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aSociology of the Body. 615 24$aCritical Criminology. 615 24$aEuropean Law. 676 $a810 702 $aDaems$b Tom 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910644258703321 996 $aBody searches and imprisonment$93364354 997 $aUNINA
