The purpose of the authors through this study is to establish inoculation theory as a viable method in the prevention or reduction of recidivism in criminal prison inmate populations in the United States. The authors begin with a detailed literature review on inoculation. They also describe, in detail, recidivism in prisons. In doing so, they provide a series of interconnected topics, such as the total number of inmates in U.S. prisons, statistical displays of repeat offenders or subjects of recidivism, and the types of crimes often times repeated by convicted criminals. What comes afterwards is an explication of how inoculation theory can be applied in the context of reducing prisoner recidivism. The authors conclude this study with a discussion section that offers suggestions for future research.
作者开展这项研究的目的是将预防接种理论确立为一种在美国刑事监狱囚犯群体中预防或减少累犯的可行方法。作者首先对预防接种进行了详细的文献综述。他们还详细描述了监狱中的累犯情况。在此过程中，他们提供了一系列相互关联的主题，比如美国监狱中的囚犯总数、惯犯或累犯对象的统计数据，以及已定罪罪犯经常重复实施的犯罪类型。接下来阐述了预防接种理论如何能应用于减少囚犯累犯的背景中。作者在本研究结尾的讨论部分为未来研究提出了建议。
