What will be an ideal response?
Anger is often central to violent criminal behavior, and given the frustrations resulting from being in custody or under correctional supervision in the community, it often leads to violence. Anger is a normal and often adaptive human feeling that is aroused when we feel that we have been offended or wronged in some way. The tendency to undo that wrongdoing by retaliating is motivated by anger and is adaptive in the sense that it warns those who have offended or wronged that you are not to be treated that way. The problem, however, is not anger per se but rather the inability of some to manage it. These individuals often become excessively angry over minor real or imagined slights to the point of rage. Anger management classes also teach such skills as rational thinking to increase offenders’ ability to react to frustration and conflict in assertive rather than aggressive ways, and to develop effective communication skills. Last part of the question is subjective.
