Escalation was defined as an adjudicated violent offense only after arrests and adjudications exclusively for nonviolent offenses. Data were collected from 50 respondents (25 escalators and 25 maintainers of nonviolent offending) incarcerated in a secure facility in the midwestern United States. Beliefs that power equates safety and a violent home environment were salient in understanding escalation in offending behavior, and prior criminal victimization was moderately significant. Implications for individual and family preventive interventions and delinquency theories are discussed.
