Item Description:Correction to: J Quant Criminol https://doi.org/10.1007/s10940-017-9372-7: In the original publication of the article, the values in the sentence in “Analysis of Matched Samples” section have been incorrectly published as: “Specifically, inmates who lost good time had a 10% higher probability of committing any subsequent misconduct, a 13% higher probability of perpetrating a violent misconduct, and a 14% higher probability of committing a Class I misconduct.” The corrected sentence should read as: “Specifically, inmates who lost good time had a 10% higher probability of committing any subsequent misconduct, a 14% higher probability of perpetrating a violent misconduct, and a 15% higher probability of committing a Class I misconduct.” /lt.
