罪犯群体行为是一个复杂的现象，许多研究者都试图了解。大多数适用于这个问题的个别理论都取得了有限的成功。这项工作使用计算机模拟，将组织控制的复杂理论应用到囚犯群体行为的问题上，该问题包含了在个人理论中发现的所有主要理论成分。完整的理论首先提出，然后基本的仿真结果进行了讨论。研究结果表明，模拟理论产生的结果是经验现实的。监狱使用的控制过程通常会使囚犯服从，但这些控制过程也会导致囚犯群体行为的负面。这些初步结果表明，计算机模拟有望以简单理论所不能的方式理解复杂的控制问题。
Inmate group behavior is a complex phenomenon that many researchers have attempted to understand. Most of the individual theories applied to this issue have had limited success. This work uses computer simulation to apply a complex theory of organizational control to the issue of inmate group behavior that incorporates all the major theoretical components found in the individual theories. The complete theory is first presented and then basic simulation results are discussed. The findings show that the simulated theory produced results that are empirically realistic. The control processes used by prisons generally produce compliance from inmates but these same control processes result in episodic periods of negative inmate group behavior. These initial results point to the promise of computer simulation for understanding complex control issues in ways simpler theories cannot.
