Identifier	Thesis 2026
Author	Carlucci, Diane Eileen
Title	The relationship between criminal thinking patterns and motivation
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This project explores the relationship between criminal thinking patterns and motivation. The project involves the following research question: What criminal thinking patterns are related to motivation? In order to determine the relationship between the two variables, the study involves the use of the Criminogenic Thinking Profile (CTP) and the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA). Both assessment tools were completed by one hundred and nine probationers at the Office of Adult Probation in Hartford, Connecticut, as they waited to meet with their probation officers. The assessments were completed voluntarily and the probationers were compensated $5 for participating. The one hundred and nine assessments were collected within three days and the responses were analyzed. The findings of the assessments found that a majority of the participants were considered in the Precontemplation stage of motivation and that they scored within the 60th percentile for their overall criminal thinking score. The correlations show a negative relationship between motivation and criminal thinking which means that lower motivation is associated with increased criminal thinking patterns. By examining the relationship between criminal thinking and motivation, it will assist in creating appropriate treatment programs with a focus on an individual’s potential for rehabilitation.
