Psychosocial risks within prison service
Journal Title: Journal of Health and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The action research was aimed at identifying psychosocial risks of the Penitentiary Police. We have specifically developed the PSrQ-p, a questionnaire consisting of 22 items that made it possible to investigate five dimensions: isolation, social image, firearms license, variety of work and role. This tool has been tested on a sample of 1346 subjects and testing is ongoing. From the data obtained it was confirmed the hypothesis of psychophysical and negative social image relative to a starting isolation experienced by the operators of the Penitentiary Police.
