Comparing the Rates of Misconduct Between Private and Public Prisons in Texas
Mass incarceration has led to an increased reliance on private prisons. Yet, there is little evidence regarding the extent to which public safety and misconduct patterns differ across private versus public prisons. Combining data from prisoners in the State of Texas within a counterfactual research design, the current study examines differences in the likelihood of engaging in misconduct among comparable male inmates sentenced to a private over a…
A Test of Social Learning Theory and Self-Control on Cyber Offending
The current study examines the mediating and moderating effects of both social learning theory (SLT), focusing on peer interactions (including both traditional and virtual peers), and self-control theory on self-reported cyber offending. Results for the two strongest SLT predictors, differential association and definitions favorable to crime, were in line with previous studies of both traditional and cyber offending in their conditional relations…
The Link between Onset Age and Adult Offending
Studies of the development of anti-social behavior from adolescence through adulthood have suggested that early onset of offending tends to be associated with a lengthier criminal career. Recently, Bacon and colleagues uncovered a somewhat divergent finding in that late onset of delinquency was associated with subsequent offending among members of the 1958 Philadelphia Birth Cohort. This paper furthers this line of research by adopting a differen…

Distribution and Correlates of Self-Reported Crimes of Trust
This study examines the distribution and correlates of a special class of property crimes, crimes of trust, using longitudinal and cross sectional self-report data from a national sample. We begin by defining crimes of trust and consider their conceptual relationship to "conventional" property crimes, which we here characterize as crimes of stealth, and to white collar crimes, which are defined in terms of the social status of the perpetrators. C…

Criminological theory in the digital age
Identity Thieves and Levels of Sophistication
Identity theft continues to be a problem in the United States, yet research on identity thieves is limited. This study complements previous work by exploring the correlates of identity thieves (n = 257) and offense sophistication levels via a content analysis of a nationally representative probability sample of newspaper articles (1995–2005). Sample demographics are presented along with the results from bivariate correlations and a multinomial lo…
