Abstract
For one state correctional system, 1998 through 2006, 121 perpetrators were compared with 121 nonperpetrators. Sexual abuse victimization as a child, a life sentence, and adult sexual assault convictions predicted men’s unwanted sexual touching of other men. History of juvenile robbery and adult sexual assault convictions, more years in prison, and youth characterized men who threatened, attempted, or achieved sexual penetration with another inmate. Individual predispositions appear to be relevant to understanding prison sexual violence and should be examined along with contextual influences. Findings suggest needed areas of future research and have implications for preventing sexual violence in prisons.
