AB Policy and practice in the safe management of disturbed and violent behavior as applied in USA and UK correctional facilities is examined in this article. Certain differences emerge and are discussed, particularly relating to physical restraint. The paucity of evidence to support particular interventions is highlighted through a review of a UK systematic analysis of world literature on best practice.
