Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Recent research on prisons and prison guards has not conclusively shown that guards are increasingly using more excessive force. Instead, the focus has often been on the culture within prisons, the training and behavior of guards, and the overarching theories of punishment that influence prison practices.
