Doctoral Dissertation Research:"Residential Mobility Following Incarceration"

博士论文研究：监禁后的居住流动性主要调查者：Glenn Firebaugh(宾夕法尼亚州立大学)联合首席调查者：Cody Warner(宾夕法尼亚州立大学)摘要每年有超过70万名被定罪的罪犯从监狱获释，进入全国各地的城镇。尽管现有的研究表明，他们在哪里定居对他们成功重返中国的机会有重要影响，但人们对获释的罪犯如何在某些社区居住知之甚少。这项拟议的研究将利用有限的社会调查数据，包括居住和监禁历史，以检查监禁对将个人分类到不同质量的社区的影响。因此，这项研究将考察(1)监禁如何影响居住流动性决定，(2)个人在监狱后搬到的社区类型，以及(3)前囚犯所在社区的位置是否对个人幸福感产生不利影响。鉴于囚犯重新进入的范围，拟议的研究结果将提供关于监禁在决定居住结果方面所起作用的重要知识。调查结果还将表明，政策制定者可以通过哪些途径来制定有效的立法，以促进住宅的稳定，并希望降低再次犯罪率。

Doctoral Dissertation Research: Residential Mobility Following IncarcerationPrincipal Investigator: Glenn Firebaugh (Pennsylvania State University)Co-Principal Investigator: Cody Warner (Pennsylvania State University)AbstractEach year, over 700,000 convicted offenders are released from prison and enter cities and towns across the country. Although existing research has shown that where they settle has important implications for their chances of successful reentry, little is known about how released offenders come to reside in certain neighborhoods. The proposed research will utilize restricted social survey data that contains both residential and incarceration histories to examine the impact of incarceration on the sorting of individuals into neighborhoods of varying quality. As such, the study will examine (1) how incarceration impacts residential mobility decisions, (2) the types of neighborhoods individuals move to after prison, and (3) if ex-inmate neighborhood location adversely impacts individual well-being. Given the scope of prisoner reentry, the results of the proposed study will provide important knowledge about the role incarceration plays in shaping residential outcomes. The findings will also suggest avenues through which policymakers can enact effective legislation that promotes residential stability in hopes of reducing recidivism rates.
