The Dual Nature of Legitimacy in the Prison Environment: An Inquiry in Slovenian Prisons by Rok HacinEnglish | PDF | 2019 | 113 Pages | ISBN : 3030328422 | 1.6 MB
This book explores the dual nature of legitimacy in prison. It examines the inter-connectivity between audience perception of legitimacy (the prisoners’ perception) and the power-holders’ perception of legitimacy (the prison staff perception). It defines legitimacy in this scenario as the ability of prison workers to implement their authority in an honest, lawful, and just manner, while prisoners acknowledge their status as eligible power-holders who deserve to be obeyed and comply with their decisions.
