This article presents an annotated bibliography of anger and violence management programs in correctional services between 1980 and 1995. Databases searched were Psychlit, First Search, Sociofile, CINCH, and the Criminal Justice Abstracts. Five sections were identified: Systems Management, Staff-Orientated Programs, Inmate Programs, Anger Management as Program Component, and Program Evaluation. It was concluded that although anger management programs showed immediate benefits, the brevity of the programs precluded long-term integration. Also, there were few existing programs targeting violent behavior for individuals.
