Document Summary
Coping relapse model of criminal recidivism: zamble and quinsey explain why an individual will commit another offence after release (refer to figure 12. 1 on page 364) 1 - first level is a type of environmental trigger (e. g. lose a job, financial difficulties, stuck in traffic) 3 - perception and response to environmental trigger is based on two things: individual and response mechanisms. Individual influences include criminal history and enduring personality traits (e. g. psychopathy); these factors influence how the individual perceives an event and the likelihood of them engaging in criminal behaviour. For example, psychopathic individuals are more likely to perceive ambiguous event as hostile and are impulsive, which increases the likelihood of engaging in criminal behaviour. Response mechanisms include coping ability, substance use, criminal attitudes and associates, and social supports. These also influence how an individual perceives a situation, which mediates their response.
