DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN ATTEMPTING TO WORK WITH ANGRY BLACK MILITANTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR HANDLING THESE INDIVIDUALS.

Abstract

THESE INDIVIDUALS REVEALED PARANOID PERSONALITY STRUCTURES, OFTEN EXHIBITING PROVOCATIVE AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR. THREE CASES ARE FURNISHED TO ILLUSTRATE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM. A COURSE IN BLACK HISTORY AND A TRAINING PROGRAM FOR CORRECTIONAL PERSONNEL CONSISTING OF WORKSHOPS, LECTURES, AND SUPERVISED PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE, ARE DESCRIBED AS EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO WORKING WITH MILITANT BLACKS.
