Abstract
This study used network analysis to examine the differences in criminogenic needs among first-time offenders, repeated offenders, and university students. Results indicates that offenders had greater criminogenic needs than university students. Importantly, the existence of cross-cluster relationships and shifts in central criminogenic needs appear to differentiate offenders and university students.
