Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have found that younger prisoners with a criminal history of drugs and violence are more likely to commit assaults on other prisoners or officers. This may be due to their prior involvement in violent situations and overall disregard for authority. While prisoners convicted of murder or serving a sentence of life without parole may display violent tendencies, age and criminal history appear to be stronger predictors of violent behavior in prison. Death row inmates may also be less likely to commit assaults as their status carries higher security and supervision measures.
