Abstract

ABSTRACT Using a sample of 1,502 male inmates incarcerated in a correctional facility in a Northwestern state between March 2010 and June 2017 for a minimum of 3 years, the current study examines: 1) The heterogeneous nature of visitation experiences and prison misconduct over time; 2) The long-term effects of distinct visitation patterns on prison misconduct; and 3) The predictive utility of identified visitation patterns along with certain inmate characteristics in predicting distinct prison misconduct patterns. Results from trajectory and multivariate analyses identified five visitation and four misconduct groups. The findings suggest that high and early levels of visitation groups yielded a lower likelihood of persistent disciplinary offending. Additionally, age, criminal history, gang affiliation, mental health, and custody status were related to persistent misconduct. Visitation is an important determinant of inmate misconduct, which emphasizes the need for social support as early as possible during an inmate’s prison term. Additional implications are discussed.

评估监狱不当行为探视的发展模式：探视模式重要吗？

摘要本研究以2010年3月至2017年6月期间西北州一所惩教所监禁至少3年的1502名男性囚犯为样本，考察了：1）随着时间的推移，探视经历和监狱不当行为的异质性；2）不同探视模式对监狱不当行为的长期影响；以及3）已识别的探视模式以及某些囚犯特征在预测不同的监狱不当行为模式方面的预测效用。轨迹和多变量分析的结果确定了五个探视组和四个不当行为组。研究结果表明，高水平和早期水平的探视群体产生持续违纪行为的可能性较低。此外，年龄、犯罪史、帮派关系、心理健康和监护状况与持续的不当行为有关。探访是囚犯不当行为的一个重要决定因素，它强调在囚犯服刑期间尽早获得社会支持的必要性。讨论了其他影响。

期刊介绍： Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
