Does Inmate Behavior Affect Post-Release Offending? Investigating the Misconduct-Recidivism Relationship among Youth and Adults (2014, methodology): “For example, misconduct may result in perceptions of injustice, strains, or the labeling of inmates as “bad apples,” which, in accordance with defiance, strain, and labeling theories, respectively, would increase offending (Sherman 1993; Agnew 2006; Bernburg 2009; Nagin et al. 2009).”
Young Adult Outcomes and the Life-Course Penalties of Parental Incarceration (2016, background): “Released prisoners, for example, may commit more crime (Clear 2007; Cochran et al. 2014; Nagin et al. 2009).”
Prison Visitation and Recidivism (2012, background): “That is, the criminogenic effects of incarceration (Nagin et al. 2009) may be offset through social ties, during and after incarceration, that provide critical sources of support or informal social control (Hairston 1988; Berg and Huebner 2010).”
The Pains of Imprisonment Revisited: The Impact of Strain on Inmate Recidivism (2013, background): “As research mounts showing the potential criminogenic effects of imprisonment (Cid, 2009; DeJong, 1997; Jonson, 2010; Nagin et al., 2009; Spohn & Holleran, 2002), the question as to why this occurs takes on greater salience.”
Exploring the Relationship between Prison Social Climate and Reoffending* (2020, background): “…explicitly in their review, the authors suggest that the social experience of prisoners may be important in determining rates of recidivism: “on balance the evidence tilts in favor of those proposing that the social experiences of prison are likely crime-generating” (Nagin et al., 2009, p. 60).”
Social isolation and inmate behavior: A conceptual framework for theorizing prison visitation and guiding and assessing research (2013, background): “The potential implications of prison experiences, like visitation, to improve prison order and reentry outcomes has led scholars to call for investigation of them (Adams 1992; DeLisi 2003; Camp and Gaes 2005; Nagin et al. 2009; Trulson et al. 2011).”
Criminal Deterrence: A Review of the Literature (2017, background): “In the event that the stigma of a custodial sentence declines, the disutility derived from punishment will fall as a function of the length of an individual’s criminal history (Durlauf and Nagin 2011 and Nagin, Cullen, and Jonson 2009).”
Breaches in the Wall (2014, background): “Scholars have proposed that efforts to understand the effects of imprisonment can be strengthened by examining more closely the experiences prisoners have during incarceration (e.g., Nagin et al. 2009).”
Here and Gone: Anticipation and Separation Effects of Prison Visits on Inmate Infractions (2013, result): “In closing, we repeat other scholars’ calls for more research on how inprison events affect offender adjustment and, more broadly, prison order (Bottoms 1999; Nagin et al. 2009; Visher and Travis 2003).”
Examining Prison Effects on Recidivism: A Regression Discontinuity Approach (2017, unknown): “Recent reviews indicate that a stay in prison, as compared to experiencing alternative sanctions like probation, yields null or sometimes harmful, recidivism-increasing effects (Barrick, 2014; Nagin et al., 2009; Villet-taz et al., 2006).”
Prisons Do Not Reduce Recidivism (2011, unknown): “Notably, a similar review by Nagin, Cullen, and Jonson (2009) examined 6 experimental/quasi-experimental, 11 matching, and 31 regression-based studies.”
