Education
The model explains the relationship between the individual and contextual factors and considers misconduct as the product of multiple levels of influence on behavior. The overlapping rings in the model illustrate how factors at one level influence factors at another level.

Perpetrators are at risk of developing a maladaptive social life at school that reduces one’s ability to forge a sense of belonging (Miller, 2011). Furthermore, misconduct may harm the integrity of the future workforce where the perpetrator maybe more likely to engage in misconduct in the future occupational roles (Ogilvie & Stewart, 2010). Similarly, misconduct may result in judicial or legal sanctions and penalties, loss of student’s status, financial burdens, arrested development and shame for having lost control and violated the rights and safety of others (Pezza & Bellotti,
