“…Moreover, our analysis reveals a positive association between length of sentence, obsessive-compulsive score and theft. These findings corroborate [ 4 , 5 ] and suggest that pathological impulsivity and compulsivity characterize a broad range of criminal behaviours.…”

“…To our knowledge, no previous research study has addressed this area. Nevertheless, drug consumption is known to be prevalent among the prison population [ 2 , 5 ] and compulsivity and impulsivity undoubtedly play a role in addictive behaviours. Accordingly, it is important to identify a framework within which to conceptualize and separate impulsive and compulsive problem behaviours, in order to explore common or distinct antecedents.…”

“…The existence of repetitive, harmful behaviour has been attributed to traits traditionally described as “impulsive” or “compulsive”, such as substance dependence, gambling addiction or hoarding. These situations are common and often co-occur, both among the general population and among prison inmates [ 4 , 5 ]. However, to our knowledge the possible association between many forms of criminal behaviour and the characteristics of impulsivity and compulsivity has not been addressed in previous research.…”

Information such as the prevalence and frequency of criminal behaviour is difficult to estimate using standard survey techniques because of the tendency of respondents to withhold or misrepresent information. Social desirability bias is a significant threat to the validity of self-reported data, especially when supplied by persons such as sexual offenders or those convicted of theft or substance abuse. The randomized response approach is an alternative to the standard interview method and offers great potential for researchers in the field of criminal justice. By means of a survey of 792 prison inmates, incorporating both indirect and direct response techniques, we investigate if the prison population also has problems recognizing their participation in criminal acts such as theft, illicit drug use, violence against property, reckless driving and arson. Our research findings suggest that self-reported criminal behaviour among a prison population is affected by social desirability bias and that the behaviour considered is significantly associated with the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The results also demonstrate the inadequacy of traditional, yet widely used, direct questioning methods, and the great potential for indirect questioning techniques to advance policy formation and evaluation in the field of criminal behaviour.

“…In addition, because driver, vehicle, and environmental factors might all contribute to automobile crashes, following Morrison and colleagues (2016) and Stringer (2018b, 2019), we controlled for these factors with a global measure of the frequency count of nonalcohol-related crashes. 1 This measure is used as a proxy for a plethora of other contextual factors that can cause automobile crashes aside from the blood alcohol content (BAC) of the driver (see also, Gusfield, 1985, 1996; Haddon, 1972; Stringer, 2018a) and is used to examine how drinking drivers interact with other contextual factors in time and space that make the crash possible.…”

“…Several prior studies on the alcohol outlet and crash relationship included controls for measures that involve formal control such as the number of police per mile or police per capita (Giacopassi & Winn, 1995) and DUI arrests (McCarthy, 2003). Although police per mile and per capita were not significantly related to crash numbers (Giacopassi & Winn, 1995), McCarthy (2003) found that DUI arrests are significantly and negatively related to DUI crashes (see also Stringer, 2019). However, despite the considerable theoretical relevance of guardianship, no prior research has examined the interaction between alcohol outlets and DUI arrests when predicting alcohol-related crashes.…”

This project expands on the “routine drinking activities” perspective by examining alcohol outlets, alcohol-related crashes, and theoretically derived contextual measures. Using census tract–level data from two U.S. cities, we draw on the prevention literature and routine activities theory to develop measures of alcohol availability and context. Spatially lagged regression models examined both direct and conditional relationships between alcohol outlets and alcohol-related crashes. Results indicate that the alcohol outlet and crash relationship was moderated by contextual factors (e.g., driving under the influence [DUI] enforcement and environmental hazards). Thus, alcohol availability may be just a part of a broader community system that affects the opportunity for alcohol-related crashes to occur.
