Predictors of Misconduct Between and Within Adults Serving Long-Term Sentences
Drawing on importation and deprivation perspectives and integrating developmental/life-course criminology, the current study examines predictors of change in major and minor misconduct incidences, over a 16-year period, among a sample of 1,125 adults in custody serving long-term sentences. Findings from mixed-effects regression models revealed that factors of the prison environment such as custody level, visitation, facility transfers, and progra…
A Life Course of Its Own
Drawing on developmental/life-course criminology and integrating importation and deprivation models, the current study investigates longitudinal patterns of prison misconduct over the first 16 years of incarceration among a cohort of 883 adult males convicted of violent offenses in a Northwestern U.S. state. Results from group-based trajectory modeling (GBT) revealed a low misconduct group (57.98%), an early-onset group (35.90%), and a persistent…
Does Procedural Justice Matter in Probation? Investigating the Relationship Between Procedural Just Treatment and Law-Abiding Behavior Among a Sample of High-Risk Offenders
Community supervision programs are instrumental for reducing the prison population and successfully reintegrating offenders back into society. Prior literature suggests that supportive relationships between legal authorities and their clients may foster law-abiding behavior. Using data from the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) program (N = 781), the current study investigates whether fair (procedurally just) treatment by co…
Proposing a Universal Measure of Program Readiness for Adults in Custody
Offender readiness is important to the success of substance abuse and therapeutic programs. Prisons provide a variety of programs, including reentry, vocational, and creative programs that have been shown to improve reentry success. And yet, the concept of program readiness has not been examined in these contexts. We explore the development of a broader measure of program readiness. Toward this goal, we developed a preliminary generalized program…
Examining the Relationship between Job Characteristics and Job Satisfaction among Southern Prison Staff
The job characteristics model was used to explain job satisfaction at a large southern prison. The effects of job variety, role clarity, views of supervision, views of training, perceived dangerousness of the job, and job autonomy on job satisfaction were studied. Using data from 322 staff members, the study found positive job characteristics (i.e., job variety, supervision, training, and lower perceived dangerousness of job) were associated with…
Police legitimacy in Asia
Analysing data obtained from several sources, with more than 42,000 individuals nested in 28 Asian countries, a multilevel hierarchical non-linear analysis was conducted to assess the predictive powers of macro-level factors on police legitimacy. Results from the unconditional analysis suggest that a significant variation in police legitimacy was at country level. Of the individual predictors analysed, being exposed to the media and being employe…
