Abstract |
Victimization among inmates of a correctional facility poses significant problems for the successful control and treatment of inmates. This article presents results from a study of several possible influences on an adult male inmate's likelihood of committing personal crime, his likelihood of committing property crime, and his likelihood of being victimized by personal crime or property crime in a medium-security correctional facility located in the southwestern United States. Results suggest that the characteristics of offenders and victims differ in several respects. These characteristics are presented along with their implications for policies designed to reduce inmate victimization. |
