“…Thus, future research should seek to examine predictors of recidivism in males and females by offense type. Finally, many of the individual and wider, societal elements that contribute towards offending were not able to be explored within the present study, such as self-control (Grieger, Hosser, & Schmidt, 2012), psychopathy (Dhingra & Boduszek, 2012), the effect of criminal peer associations , socioeconomic status (Heimer, 1997) and criminal social identity (Boduszek, Adamson, Shevlin, Hyland, & Bourke, 2013).…”

“…More recent research (Boduszek, Adamson, & Shevlin et al, 2013a) (Tajfel & Turner, 1979). This suggests that the more an individual interacts with criminal peers, the greater the likelihood there is of those individuals developing positive feelings towards belonging to the criminal group.…”

The integrated psychosocial model of criminal social identity attempts to synthesize, distil, and extend our knowledge and understanding of why people develop criminal social identity, with a particular focus on the psychological and social factors involved. We suggest that the development of criminal social identity results from a complex interplay between four important groups of psychosocial factors: (1) an identity crisis which results in weak bonds with society, peer rejection, and is associated with poor parental attachment and supervision;(2) exposure to a criminal/antisocial environment in the form of associations with criminal friends before, during, and/or after incarceration; (3) a need for identification with a criminal group in order to protect one"s self-esteem; and (4) the moderating role of personality traits in the relationship between criminal/antisocial environment and the development of criminal social identity. The model produces testable hypotheses and points to potential opportunities for intervention and prevention. Directions for future research are discussed.

“…An increased belief in the existence of social obligations to assist a convict is associated with decreased psychological salience of a criminal's group identity and criminal's felt attitude toward other in-group criminals. A reverse relationship was found to exist in the group of repeat offenders (Boduszek et al, 2013). Recidivism probably plays a mediating role between criminal identity and the sense of entitlement.…”

“…Criminal behaviour research clearly indicates that criminal thinking style (criminal attitudes) are the most important predictor of later criminal behaviour. Such conclusions have been reached in numerous studies in the field of social and criminal psychology (Boduszek, Adamson, Shevlin, Hyland, & Bourke, 2013). Yochelson and Samenow (1976) suggested thinking factors that are specific to criminals: power orientation, mollification, cognitive indolence, cutoff, sentimentality, superoptimism, discontinuity in promises and intentions over time, and finally entitlement.…”

“…ciates. Three dimensions of the criminal social identity have been distinguished: in-group ties, cognitive centrality and in-group affect (Boduszek et al, 2013). In-group ties concern the level of personal bonding with other criminals; cognitive centrality is psychological salience of a criminal's group identity; and in-group affect concerns the criminals' felt attitude toward other in-group criminals.…”

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 -
