Document Summary
Beyond formal rehabilitation programs, routine interactions can shape behaviour. Prison guards exchanges with inmates can be reshaped to encourage prosociality. Emboldening effects; prison as a crime school. Inmates who are unmarried, have no children, and lack education are more likely to report that they will reoffend. Positive affect and respect were positively associated with reoffending estimates. Conclusion: prosocial identities that pay are needed to encourage the decision to desist. Schaefer, l. , cullen, f. t. , & eck, j. e. (2016). Environmental corrections: a new paradigm for supervising offenders in the community. Proposes a new model of probation and parole. Goes back to the beginning: if we want to prevent crime, we have to know why people commit crime. In order to effectively reduce (re-)offending, we have to know what causes crime. Environmental corrections = merger of environmental criminology and community corrections. Offenders encounter and exploit chances to get into trouble asa matter of routine.
