在这项研究中，作者调查了51名假释犯在出狱后的三年内重返社会的情况。目的是加深对成功假释者与失败假释者的区别的理解。成功的定义是出狱后满3年不再假释。这项研究考察了药物治疗、友谊、工作、家庭纽带和年龄在多大程度上与重返社会成功有关。与预期相反，研究发现，与母亲的亲密关系、与父亲的亲密关系、是否有伴侣、是否为人父母以及受教育程度与假释成功无关。那些假释成功的人更有可能在监狱里上过药物滥用课，而在释放后，他们倾向于花更多的时间和朋友们一起参加愉快的活动。在被雇佣的人中，那些每周工作至少40小时的人更有可能成功完成假释。定性数据表明，成功的假释者得到了家人和朋友更多的支持，自我效能感也更高，这有助于他们远离毒品和吸毒的同龄人。这一发现与综合生命历程理论相一致。
In this research the authors examine the reentry of 51 parolees during the 3 years following their release from prison. The objective is to gain increased understanding of what differentiates successful parolees from those who fail. Success is defined as being discharged from parole by 3 years after release. The study examines the extent to which drug treatment, friendships, work, family bonds, and age are associated with reentry success. Contrary to expectations, it is found that closeness to mother, closeness to father, having a partner, being a parent, and education level are not associated with parole success. Those who succeed on parole are more likely to have taken a substance abuse class while in prison and on release tend to spend more time in enjoyable activities with friends. Among the employed, those that worked at least 40 hours a week are more likely to complete parole successfully. Qualitative data indicate that successful parolees had more support from family and friends and had more self-efficacy, which help them stay away from drugs and peers who use drugs. The findings are consistent with an integrated life course theory.
