ANNOTATION: The perceptions correctional officers have about danger are examined. Chapters following an abstract are: introduction; relevant literature; methods; results; and discussion regarding institutional differences, individual-level differences, other hypotheses and results, remaining ecological variance, policy and practice implications, limitations, strengths, and closing remarks. "Perceived danger was found to significantly vary across institutions . . . The consistent findings of race/ethnicity, gender, organizational climate, and perceived assaults suggest that individual-level results were not impacted by institutional-level results" (p. 163).
