abstract="The adherence of the convict code and involvement in risky lifestyles lead to  increased rates of victimization; however, empirical scrutiny regarding the  interaction between the convict code and risky lifestyles remains unexplored. The  current study bridges this gap in the victimization literature by examining the  interaction effect between the convict code and risky lifestyles on victimization  experience incarcerated offenders within South Korean prisons. <br><br>RESULTS indicate  there both the convict code and risky lifestyles are positively and significantly  associated with the risk of victimization. When combined, an interaction effect is  present, suggesting that the relationship between the convict code and violent  victimization is stronger as inmates engage in risky lifestyles more frequently. A  discussion of theoretical implications is offered, highlighting the similarities of  the convict code with western prison settings.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
