“…While more research is needed to disentangle the effect of CCTV on planned and unplanned behaviors, the findings provide support for the need to implement strategies that address precipitators in the environment that give rise to unplanned behavior and strategies aimed are minimizing opportunities for planned misbehavior.

Despite the widespread use of closed circuit television (CCTV) in prison, few studies have explored its effect on prisoner misbehavior. Research was conducted to explore two research questions: (i) does CCTV have a greater preventative effect on nonviolent than violent prisoner misbehavior, and (ii) does CCTV have a greater preventative effect on planned than unplanned violent behavior. Data were obtained on the 1,116 incidents involving aberrant prisoner behavior that occurred at four prisons in Queensland (Australia) over a six year period. Findings indicated that violent and unplanned misbehavior were relatively more likely to occur in view of CCTV coverage than were non-violent and unplanned misbehavior. The implications for the prevention of aberrant inmate behavior and for our understanding of the impact of CCTV on violence are discussed.2

“…Although previous research has typically used number of prior incarcerations as a measure of prisonization (e.g., Boduszek et al, 2013;DeLisi & Walters, 2011;Dhami, Ayton, & Loewenstein, 2007;McCorkle, Miethe & Drass, 1995), it is possible that the total amount of time spent in prison is a better measure of prisonization. That is, one long prison sentence could be much more detrimental than several short(er) prison sentences.…”

Purpose: The main aim of the current study was to examine how primary psychopathy may interact with period of confinement to predict Criminal Social Identity (CSI) scores, while controlling for covariates. Methods:The Measure of Criminal Social Identity, Levenson Self-report Psychopathy Scale, and the Measure of Criminal Attitudes and Associates were administered to 126 male juvenile offenders incarcerated in prisons in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.Results: Results indicated no significant direct relationship between period of confinement and CSI scores. However, as expected, a significant moderating effect of primary psychopathy on the association between period of confinement and CSI scores was observed while controlling for covariates. Specifically, the significant effect of period of confinement on CSI was observed only for those participants who scored higher (1 SD above the mean) on primary psychopathy (affective and interpersonal features). Conclusion:For incarcerated juveniles with greater primary psychopathic traits, the formation and/or intensification of CSI may be an adaptive response to incarceration.

“…Troisièmement, étant donné que les pratiques et même l'ampleur de la problématique de l'intimidation peuvent varier d'une prison à une autre (Gaes et McGuire, 1985 ;DiIulio, 1987 ;Farmer, 1988 ;McCorkle et al, 1995 ;Huebner, 2003 ;Wolff et al, 2007), une dernière variable a été créée à cet effet. Cette variable nominale a permis d'identifi er le lieu de travail du participant.…”

Les études portant sur la victimisation des surveillants de prison ont souligné la relative rareté des agressions sévères commises par les détenus. L’univers carcéral est plutôt ponctué de violences physiques mineures et d’attaques psychologiques contre les gardiens. Si plusieurs recherches ont mis en évidence les facteurs d’influence des pratiques professionnelles des gardiens de prison, peu d’études se sont penchées sur l’impact de la violence sur leur travail. Un questionnaire structuré a été soumis à 132 agents correctionnels travaillant dans des établissements de juridiction provinciale dans la région de Montréal afin d’établir les niveaux et les formes d’intimidation vécue par ces agents et afin d’évaluer les effets de cette victimisation sur leur travail. D’une part, nos analyses confirment les tendances générales de victimisation des gardiens de prison. D’autre part, cette victimisation semble modifier certaines pratiques professionnelles. D’autres études sont toutefois nécessaires afin de valider le concept de pratiques professionnelles en milieu carcéral.Most of the studies have shown that serious inmate-on-staff assaults are relatively rare in prison. Rather, inmate-on-staff violence consists of minor physical assaults and psychological attacks. Although many studies have pointed out the factors that influence the professional practices of prison guards, very few have looked at the impact of violence on their work. We surveyed a sample of 132 provincial prison guards working in the Montreal area to establish the levels and the forms of intimidation they had experienced from inmates and to determine its impact on their professional practices. On the one hand, our results confirm the levels of inmate-on-staff violence found in previous studies. On the other, it appears that this violence changes some of their professional practices. Further studies are needed in order to validate the concept of professional practices of prison guards.Las investigaciones sobre la victimización de los guardia-cárceles resaltan el carácter inusual de las agresiones severas hacia éstos de parte de los detenidos. Mas bien, el universo carcelario esta marcado por agresiones físicas menores y por ataques psicológicos contra los guardias. Si bien muchas investigaciones evidenciaron los factores de influencia de las prácticas profesionales de los guarda-cárceles, pocas se han explayado sobre el impacto de la violencia en su trabajo. Un cuestionario estructurado ha sido suministrado a 132 agentes correccionales que se desempeñan en prisiones de jurisdicción provincial dentro de la región de Montréal, con el propósito de establecer los niveles y las formas de intimidación vividas por dichos agentes, con el fin de evaluar los efectos de la victimización sobre su trabajo. Por un lado, nuestros análisis confirman las tendencias generales de la victimización de los guarda-cárceles. Por otro lado, dicha victimización pareciera modificar algunas prácticas profesionales.
