Finally, discussions explore the characteristics of recidivists according to the age at which their criminal careers were launched, the distribution of criminal activity analyzed using population models of crime and Swedish data, employment of abstract games to assess cooperation and exploitation patterns of various prisoner types, and motivations for inmate behavior.
