| Sumario: | A consolidated list of offender motivations for criminal offending was created to determine the relevance of individual motivations for youth and adult crimes, and across a range of offending categories. Adult male inmates (N= 136) rated the relevance of each of 17 motivations to official conviction records and other clinical-risk measures. Results showed that most inmates committed crimes to experience pleasure, sensation seeking, or to escape reality. Adult sex offenders identified sexual motives, whereas non-sex offenders endorsed substance use, social influence, and utilitarian motives. Findings are discussed with respect to evidence-based correctional research and practice. |
