摘要
Some correctional employees end their careers in disgrace by engaging in "inappropriate relationships" with inmates. This study employed face-to-face interviews with thirty-two inmate manipulators who admitted to behaving inappropriately with prison staff members. Based on the interviews, our findings indicate that offenders are very likely to persist in establishing relationships with correctional employees who have what Cressey (1973) refers to as "non-shareable" problems in his classic study of embezzlers.
