• The correctional melting pot: Race, ethnicity, citizenship, and prison violence (2006, background): “Prior research indicated that foreign nationals were more violent than inmates who were American citizens (e.g., Camp et al., 2003; Gaes et al., 2002), thus, another dummy variable measured whether the inmate was an American citizen or foreign national (foreign national = 0, United States citizen =…”
• Understanding Physical Victimization Inside Prisons: Factors that Predict Risk (2009, methodology): “Previous research using multilevel methods to study prison violence has focused on structural variation among prisons (such as crowding and average security level of inmates at a facility) to explore the effect of environment on disorder among inmates (Camp et al., 2003; Wooldredge et al., 2001).”
• Gangkill: An Exploratory Empirical Assessment of Gang Membership, Homicide Offending, and Prison Misconduct (2011, background): “For example, some research found that inmates who are in higher security-level housing units and those serving longer prison terms are more likely to be involved in prison misconduct (Camp et al., 2003; Craddock, 1996; Goetting & Howsen, 1986; Jiang & Fisher-Giorlando, 2002).”
• Comparing Self-Report to Official Measures of Inmate Misconduct (2014, methodology): “…property theft are examples of inmate “crimes” (Eichenthal & Jacobs, 1991; Wooldredge, 1994, 1998), and institutional safety and order is evaluated, in part, based on the levels of these types of offenses within prisons (Bottoms, 1999; Camp et al., 2003; DiIulio, 1987; Steiner & Wooldredge, 2009b).”
• PRISON OFFICER LEGITIMACY, THEIR EXERCISE OF POWER, AND INMATE RULE BREAKING* (2018, background): “…and 4) routines during incarceration (education classes, work assignment, recreation, experiencing victimization; for related studies, see Camp et al., 2003; Cunningham and Sorensen, 2006; Griffin and Hepburn, 2006; Harer and Steffensmeier, 1996; Kruttschnitt and Gartner, 2005; Sorensen…”
• Assessing Static and Dynamic Influences on Inmate Violence Levels (2009, background): “These findings, coupled with those from other recent prisonlevel analyses (e.g., Camp et al., 2003; Useem & Reisig, 1998), suggest that crowding may not have a direct effect on aggregate-level inmate violence.”
• The relevance of inmate race/ethnicity versus population composition for understanding prison rule violations (2009, background): “5 Previous research in this area has focused on inmates and facilities from the federal prison system (e.g. Harer and Steffensmeier, 1996; Camp et al., 2003), yet drug offenders make up the largest number of offenders in federal institutions (53%), while violent offenders comprise the largest group…”
• The Past Is Prologue: Prior Adjustment to Prison and Institutional Misconduct (2010, background): “Among males and supported by the importation model, those who have a history of violence engaged in major types of institutional misconduct (Berg & DeLisi, 2006; Camp et al., 2003).”
