| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research is to collect data from inmate personnel files and corresponding disciplinary records, involving a sample of violent and non-violent offender typologies. It was hypothesized 1) that violent conviction inmates do not exhibit an inclination of institutional violence, as indicated by a greater number of rule infractions of violent character, compared to inmates without either a violent conviction or a noted jail confinement for a violent offense; 2) that violent conviction inmates are refused parole for a longer duration, compared to inmates without either a violent conviction or a noted jail confinement for a violent offense. These data will add to past studies and will provide new data for future studies. Assessment of the above hypotheses will provide additional knowledge of the violent offender and his probability of parole. | |
