Solo or Social Chefs
Prison food studies found that communal cooking improves peer support, agency, well-being, and construction of new identities or social status. However, the decision to cook with others, rather than alone, remains an underexplored dimension of prison life. This study fills that gap by examining the extent to which both personal characteristics and prison conditions associate with communal cooking and eating practices, drawing on the theoretical f…
Changes in Probation Officer Procedural Justice and Self-Reported Recidivism
An increasing number of studies has studied the role of procedural justice for reducing recidivism in the probation context. The objective of this study is to contribute to existing knowledge by examining (a) whether people on probation alter their perceptions of probation officer procedural justice over time and (b) the extent to which changes in procedural justice relate to recidivism. This study utilized longitudinal data from 326 adults who w…
Procedural Justice in Their Eyes
The literature on procedural justice has been mainly focused on examining whether a fair and respectful treatment affects justice-involved individuals’ legitimacy evaluations and their behavior. It is, however, equally important to examine (a) the role that perceptions of procedural justice play for individuals in their encounters with criminal justice authorities and (b) what makes individuals feel treated procedurally (un-)just. In this qualita…
Assessing the Affective Organizational Commitment Scale
Research in various occupational contexts has demonstrated the relevance of affective organizational commitment in generating beneficial outcomes for workers and organizations in terms of well-being, performance, and customer satisfaction. Findings from a small number of prison studies confirm the relevance of commitment for prison workers and prison agencies. Of the various existing measures, the affective organizational commitment scale is the …
Understanding the Relationship Between Child Visits, Pre-Prison Father-Child Contact, and Recidivism Among Formerly Imprisoned Fathers
This study examined whether father-child contact before imprisonment and child visits during imprisonment were associated with recidivism among 874 fathers released from Dutch prisons. Although child visits during imprisonment were not linked to recidivism after adjusting for background factors, pre-prison father-child contact was associated with lower recidivism 12 months post release. Fathers who had pre-prison contact with their children, rece…
Perceptions of Correctional Officer Procedural Justice, Low Self-Control, and Institutional Misconduct Among People in Prison
Using data from the Prison Project, a nationwide study of individuals entering pre-trial detention ( N = 1,609) in the Netherlands, the study examines the associations among self-control (e.g., acting on impulse, lack of forethought, inability to concentrate), perceptions of procedural justice (i.e., people in prison’s perceptions of their treatment by prison staff), and prison misconduct (e.g., being aggressive toward prison staff and/or other p…
Predictors of reward status in prison
Reward systems in prison are applied worldwide. In reward systems, the responsibility for behavioural reform is increasingly transferred from states to incarcerated individuals, as these individuals can earn a reward status by complying with institutional rules. The underlying assumption of such systems is that rewards promote motivation for compliance. Despite the large impact of (not) earning reward status on individual lives, it has seldomly b…
Measuring prison climate across contexts
Prison climate surveys are uniquely positioned to identify how the quality of prison life differs both within and between institutions. However, much of this comparative potential remains unrealized, in part because of insufficient evidence that existing survey instruments are suitable for use in different contexts and that survey data can be reliably compared across contexts. In this paper, we explore the suitability of the Prison Climate Questi…
Do Prison Visits Have a Spectrum? Visitation Quality and the Varying Impacts for Individuals’ Behavior and Well-Being in Prison
Scholarship suggests that prison visits can have beneficial as well as potential adverse effects on life in prison. What remains unclear is what explains these heterogeneous effects. In this study, latent profile analysis and regression analyses are used to examine whether the nature of people’s experiences during visits dictates their effects on individuals’ behavior and well-being in prison among more than 2,000 individuals incarcerated in Dutc…
Cell's Kitchen
In popular media, carceral food places are often depicted as large communal mess halls, but this does not reflect the diversity of such spaces worldwide. Carceral geography, while exploring prison spaces, seldom examines foodplaces in detail. Using empirical data from 21 Dutch penal institutions, we describe how incarcerated persons experience these spaces. Some elements of carceral foodplaces are normalized, but others, such as the gap between t…
Differential Effects of Procedural Justice? Examining Heterogeneity in the Perceptions and Effects of Procedural Justice Across First-Time and Recurrent Detainees
Several scholars have suggested that perceptions of procedural justice matter less for legitimacy beliefs and compliant behavior among serious offenders, but it remains unknown to what extent this also holds true for male detainees interacting with multiple criminal justice authorities. Using longitudinal data from the Prison Project on adult detainees entering Dutch pre-trial detention centers, the current study examines whether effects of proce…
Fatherhood and Reoffending after Release from Prison
Little is known about the link between fatherhood and reoffending among people released from prison. This study examined the association between fatherhood, residential status, and registered reconviction rates using data from a Dutch pre-trial prison cohort sample ( N = 845, 42.5% fathers). The results show that fathers who co-resided with a partner and children 6 months after release from prison were significantly less likely to be reconvicted …
Procedural Justice Spill-Over and Recidivism After Release From Prison
The importance of procedural justice for reducing criminal behavior has been demonstrated in numerous criminal justice contexts. However, to date, no study has evaluated the impact of procedural justice in encounters with multiple authorities on recidivism. Using longitudinal data from the Prison Project, this study examines the associations between perceptions of prison staff procedural justice, probation officer procedural justice, and recidivi…
Realistic Reintegration After Imprisonment. A Sequence Analysis of the Labour Market Paths of Recently Incarcerated Individuals
Instead of focusing on the transition to work as an indicator of social integration after imprisonment, this study approaches reintegration as a process. The labour market paths of Dutch men were mapped using the number and type of transitions, their duration and order in the first four post-prison years. To identify seven clusters with diverse labour market paths, a distinction was made between various active labour market statuses (in school, e…
Detainees’ Perceptions of Procedural Justice
Procedural justice literature proposes that when individuals perceive their treatment by criminal justice authorities as more procedurally just, they will be more likely to view those authorities as legitimate and, in turn, show more compliant behavior. Knowledge on potential determinants of procedural justice is, therefore, crucial. Research suggests that prior perceptions of procedural justice may influence later judgements of procedural justic…
Perceptions of Probation Officer Procedural Justice and Recidivism
The importance of procedural justice for reducing offending behavior has been demonstrated in numerous contexts and among various criminal justice authorities. However, to date, few studies have evaluated the importance of procedural justice in the probation officer–client relationship. Understanding how to reduce offending and prevent recidivism among people on probation is important as this group represents people among the most likely to engag…
Unraveling the Black Box of Prison Visitation
The nature of prison visits is likely to explain differences in visitation effects, but has received little research attention. Unique survey data of the Dutch Prison Visitation Study enable us to provide a first systematic account of the nature of visits, by describing the topics of conversation and experienced feelings of both incarcerated individuals ( n = 787) and visitors ( n = 662). Results indicate much variation in feelings (positive and …
How do Visit Facilitation and Accessibility of Prisons Relate to Visits from Professionals and Volunteers
Reintegration support by community-based professionals and volunteers (CBPs) is needed to prepare prisoners for release. Yet, the way in which CBPs are received, informed and accommodated, may hamper in-prison involvement. Therefore, the current study explores the visit facilitation and accessibility of prisons in the Netherlands as experienced by CBPs. A new instrument to measure facilitation and accessibility across institutions is introduced. …
Examining procedural justice spill-over effects on in-prison misconduct
Detainees’ Perceptions, Case managers’ Perceptions, and Observed Assessments of Procedural Justice
Most studies examining the role of procedural justice in encouraging legitimacy and compliance are based on how individuals feel treated by criminal justice agents. The aim of this exploratory study is to integrate different perspectives on procedural justice: (i) individuals’ perceptions of procedural justice, (ii) an observational assessment of actual behavior, and (iii) criminal justice agents’ perceptions on how procedurally (un-)just they tr…
Receiving visits in prison and aggressive and contraband misconduct among Dutch prisoners
Although scholars have emphasised the implications of social support for in-prison behaviour, and prison administrators worldwide use visitation as a correctional tool to manage prisoner behaviour, a few empirical studies have provided an articulate account of the visitation–misconduct relationship. This study expands research in this field by (a) addressing various features of visits, such as whether, from whom and how often prisoners receive vi…
Do Prisoners With Reintegration Needs Receive Relevant Professional Assistance
Ex-prisoners often experience barriers to successful transition regarding employment, finances, housing, healthcare, and valid identification. Based on the Offender Management framework, assistance during imprisonment by prison- and community-based professionals is considered key in preparing prisoners for release regarding these reintegration needs. Therefore, the current study examines the degree to which prisoners with reintegration needs are …
Procedural Justice, Perceived Legitimacy, and Reoffending Behavior
Despite the increasing body of procedural justice research studying individuals involved in the criminal justice system, this strand of literature has used different approaches to measure procedural justice and legitimacy. The present study assesses the different theoretical assumptions of these approaches across two criminal justice settings, namely, policing and courts. In addition, we examine how procedural justice stemming from interactions w…
Professional support and re-entry preparedness among prisoners
Multiagency support is considered crucial in the successful resettlement of prisoners. Various prison-based and community-based professionals should each play a part in supporting prisoners through the gate regarding employment, housing, financial problems, healthcare or valid identification issues. Yet, little is known about the actual contribution of this support to a better perceived re-entry preparedness among prisoners. To examine the associ…
Global Crime Patterns
Class Mobility and Political Preferences
The authors test several hypotheses about the impact of intergerational class mobility on political party preferences. Test using cross-national data sets representing Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States over the period 1964-90 suggest a process of acculturation to the class of destination. The authors hypothesized that a class with a high degree of demographic identity influences newcomers more than a class with low demograp…
The Effects of Life Circumstances on Longitudinal Trajectories of Offending
This study, which is based on individual criminal careers over a 60‐year period, focuses on the development of criminal behavior. It first examines the impact that life circumstances such as work and marriage have on offending, then tests whether the effects of these circumstances are different for different groups of offenders, and finally examines the extent to which the age‐crime relationship at the aggregate level can be explained by age‐grad…
Cleavage-based voting behavior in cross-national perspective
Class voting in western industrialized countries, 1945—1990
Analyzing data obtained from the literature and our own calculations, significant differences were found among countries in their levels of class voting. The Scandinavian countries had the highest and Canada and the USA the lowest levels of class voting. Since the 1950s, there was a decline in almost all countries in the level of class voting. In this article, several hypotheses were deduced from a limited number of individual assumptions, each p…
Neighbourhood Characteristics and Reporting Crime
Various scholars have suggested that neighbourhood social cohesion and confidence in police effectiveness influence the probability that victims report crime to the police, but this has never been properly tested. Neighbourhood socio-economic disadvantage is also often assumed to influence reporting, but empirical support is limited. This study examines the effects of these three characteristics on Dutch victims’ reporting decision. Data from a l…
The Democratic Class Struggle in Postwar Societies
Studies on the relation between class and voting behaviour traditionally use measures of absolute class voting (Alford indices), and apply simple class schemes (a manual/non-manual class dichotomy). Almost all these studies showed that levels of class voting differed between countries and that declines in levels of class voting occurred in most countries in the postwar period. However, recently, scholars have argued that using measures of relativ…
How Do Residential Burglars Select Target Areas
This paper introduces the discrete spatial choice approach to the study of criminal target choice. The approach is used to assess whether residential burglars are attracted to target areas that are affluent, accessible, and poorly guarded. In addition, the importance of these criteria is postulated to vary across burglars. The theory is tested using data on 548 residential burglaries, committed by 290 burglars from the city of The Hague, the Neth…

The Predictive Value of Criminal Background Checks
Criminal record checks are being used increasingly by decision makers to predict future unwanted behaviors. A central question these decision makers face is how much time it takes before offenders can be considered “redeemed” and resemble nonoffenders in terms of the probability of offending. Building on a small literature addressing this topic for youthful, first-time offenders, the current article asks whether this period differs across the age…
Life Span Offending Trajectories of a Dutch Conviction Cohort
The aim of this paper is to describe the development of criminal behavior from early adolescence to late adulthood based on conviction data for a sample of Dutch offenders. Measuring over an age span of 12 to 72, we ask whether there is evidence for (1) criminal trajectories that are distinct in terms of time path, (2) a small group of persistent offenders, (3) criminal trajectories that are distinct in the mix of crimes committed, or, more speci…
Imprisonment Length and Post‐prison Employment Prospects
This study considers the relationship between imprisonment length and employment outcomes. The data are a unique prospective, longitudinal study of Dutch pretrial detainees (N = 702). All subjects thus experience prison confinement of varying lengths, although the durations are relatively short (mean = 3.8 months; median = 3.1 months). This contrasts with prior research that was limited to the study of American prison sentences spanning an averag…
Sentencing Homicide Offenders in the Netherlands
Empirical investigations of criminal sentencing represent a vast research enterprise in criminology. However, this research has been restricted almost exclusively to U.S. contexts, and often it suffers from key data limitations. As such, an examination of more detailed international sentencing data provides an important opportunity to assess the generalizability of contemporary research and theorizing on criminal punishment in the United States. …
Parental Background and Lifestyle Differentiation in Eastern Europe
Long-Term Patterns of Offending in Women
The empirical and theoretical knowledge base on criminal careers is heavily influenced by data on boys and men.What pathways do women follow in and out of crime through their adulthood? With data from the Criminal Career and Life-Course Study, this article describes the criminal careers of 432 women and 4,180 men, a representative sample of all those who had a criminal case adjudicated in 1977 with retrospective criminal histories up to age 12 an…
Class Cleavages in Party Preferences in the New Democracies in Eastern Europe
Since 1989 the political systems in Eastern European societies have changed radically, from totalitarian regimes towards democratic regimes with free general elections and multi-party systems similar to early democracies. This paper examines whether in these new democracies the same class cleavages have become important as in longstanding Western democracies. The relation between social class, attitudes towards economic justice and voting behavio…
Intergenerational Transmission of Political Party Preference in the Netherlands
Does the Time Cause the Crime? An Examination of the Relationship Between Time Served and Reoffending in the Netherlands
This work uses a sample of Dutch offenders, serving an average of 6.7 months of confinement, to examine the relationship between time served in prison and future criminality. To overcome the selection issues inherent in this examination, this article introduces a new method to the criminological literature that relies on a generalization of the propensity score to control for observed differences in offenders sentenced to different periods of con…
Educational Expansion and Educational Reproduction in Eastern Europe, 1940-1979
Considers changes in the effects of parental background on educational attainment in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, & Slovakia, 1940-1979, drawing on 1993 cross-national survey data from 13,997 male respondents. Findings show slight but consistent decreases in the effects of parents' education, status, & political party membership on final educational attainment. However, it demonstrates stability or increases in the effects of pa…

Participation and Frequency During Criminal Careers Across the Life Span
Recent advances and debates surrounding general and developmental as well as static and dynamic theories of crime can be traced to the 1986 National Academy of Science's Report on criminal careers and the discussion it generated. A key point of contention has been regarding the interpretation of the age–crime curve. According to Gottfredson and Hirschi (1986), the decline in the age–crime curve in early adulthood reflects decreasing individual of…
Access to education in six Eastern European countries between 1940 and 1985. Results of a cross-national survey
This paper presents an analysis of patterns of access to education in six Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Slovakia) between 1940 and 1985. As in other industrial countries, average educational attainment (measured by duration, i.e. years in school) has increased greatly since 1940. But the expansion was most rapid until 1970. In all six countries, women increased their educational attainment more…
Returning to a Former Employer
This study examines to what extent ex-prisoners return to their pre-prison job and identifies factors that facilitate or hinder this outcome. Data from a longitudinal study of Dutch pretrial detainees were analyzed to examine whether those who were employed at the time of arrest returned to their pre-prison employer, found new employment, or remained jobless in the first half year following prison. Results show that one in three employed ex-priso…
Like Father, Like Son
Trajectory modelling and growth curve analysis are used to establish (1) differences between the criminal careers of children from different groups of fathers and (2) differences within the groups of children in the development of their individual criminal careers. The fi ndings demonstrate that children of convicted fathers are much more likely to be convicted themselves in comparison to those whose fathers have never been convicted. Also, child…
Street-level corruption in industrialized and developing countries
This paper offers a cross-country analysis of street-level corruption. In line with earlier studies on general corruption (where data did not allow a distinction between street-level and high-level corruption, e.g. Treisman 2000 and La Porta et al . 1999), nine hypotheses based on general economic theories of law enforcement are tested using data from the International Crime Victims Survey (ICVS) held in forty countries (N = 27,456). The analyses…
The Influence of Event Characteristics and Actors' Behaviour on the Outcome of Violent Events
This study examines to what extent event characteristics and actors' behaviour contribute to the escalation of an event into a lethal outcome. We examined Dutch court files of 267 events in which offenders were convicted for either lethal violence (i.e. homicide, N = 126) or non-lethal violence (i.e. attempted homicide, N = 141). Pronounced differences were found between lethal versus nonlethal events with respect to event characteristics and to …
Social Mobility and Political Attitudes
Different levels of social mobility characterize nations around the world. Yet until recently, we have had few empirical investigations and no systematic international comparisons of how mobility has affected the political attitudes of citizens in different countries. Scholars have assumed that mobility must be affecting attitudes, but they have not tested their assumptions. As Lipset notes in his opening remarks: key issue which the essays in th…

Intergenerational Transmission of Political Party Preference in the Netherlands
Contextual Effects of Class Mobility on Voting Behaviour in 16 Western Countries
The author tests several hypotheses about the contextual effects of class mobility on the voting behaviour of intergenerationally stable class members. These hypotheses pertain to the effects of levels of outflow from and inflow mobility to a specific social class (in a certain nation and a specific year). The hypotheses are tested by multi-level modelling, and analyzing data on 20.619 respondents from 113 surveys held in sixteen industrialized d…

Traditional Class Voting in Twenty Postwar Societies
This is a major piece of work that forms the baseline with which to compare the more detailed case studies. It sets the terms of the debate in that it indicates that there has been a decline in levels of class voting in certain countries but not in others. It also addresses certain social structural explanations of these variations, which focus on cross‐national variations in the changing composition of classes. The elaboration of national variat…

Reporting to the police in western nations
One of the most consistent findings in empirical studies using victimization data is that the decision to report victimization to the police is determined in large part by the seriousness of the crime. The police will be notified more often of crimes that involve more serious injury or greater monetary loss. These findings, however, may be due to the fact that most studies on reporting have been conducted using victimization surveys that devote a…

Static versus dynamic theories as explanations for intergenerational transmission of crime .Parental criminal behaviour exerts a substantial impact on offspring criminal behaviour. Unfortunately however, the explanation for the intergenerational transmission of crime remains unclear. To compare and contrast two possible explanations, we address the question of whether the timing of a father’s criminal acts predicts the likelihood that his childre…
