Offender behaviour : the Influence of institutional design / Renée Gobeil. : PS83-3/331E-PDF
Features of an environment, both physical and social, are known to influence the behaviour of those within it. This pattern has been found in a variety of contexts, including correctional institutions. However, research in the correctional context has, to date, largely been limited to the U.S. Given that approaches to penitentiary design have changed over time, the institutions for which CSC is responsible differ in terms of their physical design characteristics; as such, a study was undertaken to expand this research to the Canadian context and determine if and how differences in institutional design were associated with offenders’ behaviour. The study focused on men offenders classified as medium security, and included 5,336 individuals housed in 20 institutions. The institutions were categorized according to their physical design characteristics.
