The current study presents the results of an analysis of serious and assaultive prison rule violating behavior among male perpetrators of intimate partner homicide (IPH). Data on prison rule violations were collected from a sample of 189 inmates convicted of IPH in a large, southern prison system. The study focused on the degree of continuity in violent behavior among IPH offenders from the community to the prison setting. The current study tested hypotheses derived from both the feminist perspective (FP) and the general violence perspective (GVP). As a group, IPH offenders were better behaved in prison than other incarcerated homicide offenders, thereby offering some support for the FP. However, the lower level of assaultive behavior among the group was not universal. Characteristics associated with continued violent offending in the prison environment were the same as those found in previous studies of incarcerated homicide offenders, thereby lending greater support to the GVP.
本研究呈现了对亲密伴侣杀人案（IPH）男性罪犯中严重及攻击性违反监狱规定行为的分析结果。违反监狱规定的数据收集自南方一个大型监狱系统中189名被判犯有IPH罪的囚犯样本。该研究聚焦于IPH罪犯从社区到监狱环境中暴力行为的连续性程度。本研究检验了源自女权主义视角（FP）和一般暴力视角（GVP）的假设。总体而言，IPH罪犯在监狱中的表现优于其他被监禁的杀人罪犯，从而为FP提供了一些支持。然而，该群体中较低水平的攻击性行为并非普遍现象。与监狱环境中持续暴力犯罪相关的特征与先前对被监禁杀人罪犯的研究中所发现的特征相同，从而为GVP提供了更多支持。
