UNIS, J.,
concurring.
I join with the majority opinion, but write separately to make one point. I would not assume, as does the majority, that “incarceration is a form of ‘self-imposed curtailment of earning capacity.’ ” 314 Or at 570. Although I agree with the majority that a crime is a volitional act, id., and it is clear that incarceration based on a crime is based on a volitional act, I *572believe it is also clear that, as a general rule, incarceration itself is not self-imposed.11 believe that we should not assume to the contrary.
Fadeley, J., joins in this concurring opinion.

 There may be instances in which a person deliberately commits a crime so that he may be sent to prison, but those instances are the exception.
