Causes and correlates of prison inmate misconduct: A systematic review of the evidence (2014, background): “These theories can explain misconduct at both the micro- and macro-level of analysis, and they also can incorporate the inmate, environmental, and management characteristics that have been determined to be relevant to an explanation of misconduct (Blevins et al., 2010; Morris et al., 2012; Steiner &”
Social isolation and inmate behavior: A conceptual framework for theorizing prison visitation and guiding and assessing research (2013, background): “…misconduct, this would provide partial support for theoretical arguments that suggest it is the early period of incarceration that is more strainful and that visitation can help to ameliorate such strain (Hairston 1991; Adams 1992; Bales and Mears 2008; Blevins et al. 2010; Morris et al. 2012).”
Does Inmate Behavior Affect Post-Release Offending? Investigating the Misconduct-Recidivism Relationship among Youth and Adults (2014, methodology): “In the latter case, the studies will want to examine the precise changes, such as exposure to criminogenic peers or cultures or to strains, that are associated with engaging in misconduct and, in turn, recidivism (see, e.g., Morris et al. 2012).”
Breaches in the Wall (2014, background): “Recent studies have begun to explore the longitudinal nature of prison experiences (see, e.g., Morris et al. 2012; Siennick et al. 2013).”
Exploring the Effect of Exposure to Short-Term Solitary Confinement Among Violent Prison Inmates (2016, background): “Second, violent misconduct prevalence declines monotonically throughout the first 3 years of incarceration among male inmates and is considerably rare during and after the third year of incarceration (e.g., Griffin and Hepburn 2006; Morris et al. 2012).”
