AB The aim of the current study was to examine if prisoner characteristics (personal characteristics and prison climate) and prison environment were related to prisoner misconduct, using data from a nationwide prospective cohort study examining the experience of prison climate in the Netherlands (N = 4,427). The results indicated that both personal characteristics and certain (social) domains of prison climate, such as the quality of staff-prisoner relationships, were related to prisoner misconduct, as well as prison regime. Furthermore, it was shown that registration data, which underestimate misconduct, may be (more than self-reported data) influenced by unit-level factors, such as regime characteristics. When using registration data, it is therefore particularly important to properly control for unit-level influences.
