But do any of these mechanisms actually work? This study is the first systematic analysis of the effectiveness of torture prevention. Primary research was conducted in 16 countries, looking at their experience of torture and prevention mechanisms over a 30-year period. Data was analysed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Prevention measures do work, although some are much more effective than others. Most important of all are the safeguards that should be applied in the first hours and days after a person is taken into custody. Notification of family and access to an independent lawyer and doctor have a significant impact in reducing torture. The investigation and prosecution of torturers and the creation of independent monitoring bodies are also important in reducing torture. An important caveat to the conclusion that prevention works is that is actual practice in police stations and detention centres that matters – not treaties ratified or laws on the statute book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews 'This book is important because it is the first evidence-based feedback on the many efforts of national and international actors in the field of torture prevention. The findings of the research can provide concrete and actionable material for those who work in the field of torture prevention, enabling them to focus on and invest in what works rather than only going along with a formatted response – which sadly is often the norm.\u003cbr\u003eOlivier Chow, \u003ci\u003eInternational Review of the Red Cross\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Tables \u003c\/i\u003evii\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Figures \u003c\/i\u003eix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForward \u003c\/i\u003exi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/i\u003exv\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors \u003c\/i\u003exix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
