Trauma-informed care for incarcerated offenders who engage in chronic self-injurious behaviour : a rapid evidence assessment / Michael S Martin, Catherine Viau-Deschênes & Thanujah Yogarajah.: PS83-3/388E-PDF

"Trauma is prevalent among offender populations, and in particular among offenders who engage in self-injurious or suicidal behaviours. In recognition of this, there have been numerous calls for trauma-informed care in correctional settings. We undertook a rapid evidence assessment to synthesize the principles of trauma-informed care, and the evidence base that supports their use for incarcerated offenders who engage in chronic self-injurious behaviour"--Executive summary, p. iii.
