| Sommario/riassunto: | This book presents a realist evaluation of an ethics training program for prison officers in two Belgian prisons, examining the ethical dilemmas they face and how they manage them. The author, Milou van Dijk, explores the complexity of the prison officer's role beyond the traditional view of 'keepers of the keys,' focusing on the ethical challenges and values important in handling such dilemmas. The book evaluates the effectiveness of the training program designed to enhance officers' ethical competence and offers insights for future training and the broader prison system. It is part of an academic series on criminology, aiming to share knowledge between scholars in the Netherlands and Belgium, with a focus on comparative research relevant to both countries. |
