“…Prisoners are not a homogeneous group. Violent offenders show a higher level of entitlement in terms of attitudes and behaviours compared to non-violent offenders (Fisher & Hall, 2011). Similar results were obtained by Hepper and others (2014) using the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI; Raskin & Terry, 1988).…”

background Inmates often show narcissistic and entitlement attitudes, as expressed in their numerous unjustified complaints and lawsuits concerning the conditions of imprisonment. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between entitlement, criminal social identity, narcissism and readiness for self-improvement in a group of inmates. The study also attempted to create a psychological profile of prisoners with different levels of entitlement. participants and procedureThe study included 87 prisoners (M = 32.10, SD = 8.49) aged 20-57 years. The Measure of Criminal Social Identity, Readiness for Self-Improvement Questionnaire, Entitlement Questionnaire, and Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire were used in the study. resultsThe results of the analyses indicate that entitlement in the study group is high. Active entitlement is positively associ-ated with readiness to improve oneself, readiness to take care of one's health and admiration. Passive entitlement is negatively associated with cognitive centrality, in-group affect, and narcissism, and negatively associated with readiness to improve oneself and readiness to take care of one's health. Revenge entitlement is positively associated with criminal social identity, narcissism and rivalry. Inmates with a high and low level of entitlement are differentiated by psychological and demographic variables. conclusionsWhen searching for factors determining the entitlement in a group of inmates, their personality and demographic variables should be taken into account. key words entitlement; narcissism; criminal social identity, self-improvement; inmates Relation of inmates' entitlement to identification with criminal groups, narcissism and readiness for self-improvement corresponding author -

“…In the absence of an appropriate psychometric for measuring the concept of ‘entitlement’, Fisher and Hall [ 18 ] constructed and validated a ‘Sense of Entitlement Questionnaire’ (SOEQ), informed by the results of a thorough literature review which identified 10 appropriate domains. The SOEQ was administered to 120 Australian male incarcerated offenders: 60 non-violent offenders and 60 violent offenders.…”

“…This may have biased the results, as offenders who had served the longest time indicated that their sense of entitlement had significantly reduced since sentencing; Zamble [ 51 ] coined this phenomenon the “maturity factor”. Fisher and Hall [ 18 ], highlighted the necessity for future research to investigate whether an ‘inflated sense of entitlement’ has capacity for change, and could thus be considered a criminogenic need.…”

Risk assessments identify the presence of a Personality Disorder diagnosis as relevant to future violence. At present, risk assessments focus on the presence of the disorder rather than identifying key traits related to risk. Systematic searches of three databases were conducted from January 2000 until August 2014. Of 92,143, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. A lack of empirical research was found focusing on individual traits; instead most considered PD diagnosis as a sole entity. A preliminary model has been developed detailing the link between potential interactions of diagnostic traits and risk of violence. Recommendations for future research are made.
