TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Importation, deprivation, and varieties of serving time: An integrated-lifestyle-exposure model of prison offending JO - Journal of criminal justice A1 - Hochstetler, Andy A1 - DeLisi, Matt SP - 257 EP - 266 VL - 33 IS - 3 N2 - Using data on 208 male, former inmates in a midwestern state, the current study extended the importation/deprivation debate by developing an integrated model of prison offending. The model contained attitudinal measures, self-control, perceptions of prison conditions, prison lifestyles, objective measures of prison conditions, and controls. Structural equation modeling indicated that both the importation and deprivation theories of inmate behavior were salient, however, their effects were mediated by the inmate's lifestyle while imprisoned, specifically, his participation in the inmate economy.
