Abstract

ABSTRACT Research has shown that imprisonment has a criminogenic effect, but few studies have examined why this relationship exists. Drawing on Agnew’s General Strain Theory (GST) and survey data from a sample of men and women incarcerated in a large Southern prison, the current study examined the role of both imprisonment pains and reentry strains on perceived likelihood of reoffending. It also examined differences between first-time and repeat prisoners. Results from the overall sample showed that reentry strains (i.e., low community capital and inability to adjust to life in the community) mattered more than imprisonment pains. The results were similar for repeat prisoners, but both imprisonment pains (i.e., fear for one’s safety while in prison) and reentry strains (i.e., low community capital) mattered for first-time prisoners.

监禁的痛苦，重返社会的压力，以及再犯的可能性

摘要研究表明，监禁具有犯罪效应，但很少有研究探讨这种关系存在的原因。根据阿格纽的一般紧张理论（GST）和来自被监禁在南部一所大型监狱的男性和女性样本的调查数据，目前的研究考察了监禁疼痛和重返社会紧张对感知的再犯可能性的作用。它还研究了首次入狱和再次入狱囚犯之间的差异。总体样本的结果表明，重返社会的压力（即社区资本低和无法适应社区生活）比监禁的痛苦更重要。重复囚犯的结果相似，但监禁的痛苦（即在监狱中对自身安全的恐惧）和重返社会的压力（即低社区资本）对首次囚犯都很重要。
