 Reaffirming the relationship between routine activities and violent victimization in prisonSusan McNeeley Journal of Criminal Justice, 2022, vol. 78, issue C Abstract: Prior research found routine activities in prison affect risk of victimization among incarcerated people. However, most of this work is cross-sectional in nature and does not establish temporal order between the expected risk factors and victimization. To address this gap, the current study examines a snapshot population of individuals incarcerated in Minnesota state prisons on January 1, 2021, following them forward to examine violent victimization during a 6-month follow-up period. Results of Cox regression models and negative binomial models showed several in-prison activities (e.g., treatment, work, visitation, misconduct) and individual characteristics (e.g., race, age, mental and physical health) were related to risk of victimization and/or the number of violent incidents experienced. In addition, race-specific models showed the specific predictors of victimization vary across racial groups. The results confirm the utility of lifestyle-routine activities theory as a framework for understanding victimization in prisons.
