    • Who proposed the ACM?
      Dilulio
    • What does Dilulio say about the importation model?
      It is inadequate as it ignores the role of prison officials and factors relating to the running of prisoners
    • What is the ACM?
      • States that poorly managed prisons are more likely to experience the most serious forms of inmate violence, including homicides and rioting
      • Poor management is characterised by several factors including weak leadership, a thriving culture of informal and unofficial rules, staff who remain distant from inmates, and few opportunities for education
      • These can act as triggers for aggression and increases the influence of dispositional factors
