项目摘要
High crime rates among those released from prison is of great concern among policy makers because of high social cost and loss of human capital. Despite these concerns, economists do not understand the sources of increased recidivism. Understanding the sources of recidivism will therefore contribute to economic science as well as the formulation of policies to reduce recidivism. This doctoral dissertation research project will investigate whether rehabilitative prisons reduce the rates of recidivism and labor-market participation of prison releasees. The project will also investigate how prisoners, once transformed by their prison conditions, fit into, and affect their communities when they are released. The research will use experimental methods and data from two alternative prison systems---the traditional punitive system and a modern rehabilitative system---to provide empirical evidence on these questions. The PIs have access to unique data sets on prisoners released from traditional prisons and rehabilitative prisons. The results of this research project will contribute to the development of policies to make the U.S. correctional system more efficient and therefore establish the US as a global leader in penal reforms.This doctoral dissertation research project will study the effects of rehabilitative prisons on recidivism rates, labor market attachment of prison releasees, and how releasees contribute to their societies. The PIs have access data sets of prisoners released from traditional and rehabilitative prison. The research will use two quasi-experimental research design projects to identify causal parameters. The first project uses instrumental variables approach to compare individuals randomly assigned to judges with varying preferences for incarceration and prison type to identify the causal effect of incarceration in punitive prisons or rehabilitative prisons on recidivism, and the difference between them. The second project uses a differences-in-differences estimation strategy that exploits the differential rollout of rehabilitative prisons to identify the long-term effects of additional rehabilitative time. Individuals introduced into rehabilitative prisons at the same time with remaining short sentences serve as a counterfactual to those with long remaining sentences because the prisons sort individuals into homogeneous groups across many factors, but not time. Both sets of estimates will provide rigorous evidence on the effects of large-scale prison reform on recidivism. This information is important for US policymakers and prison official as they respond to large-scale incarcerated population and the perceived failure of the current system.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
由于高昂的社会成本和人力资本的损失,出狱人员的高犯罪率引起了政策制定者的极大关注。尽管存在这些担忧,但经济学家并不理解累犯率上升的根源。因此,了解累犯的来源将有助于经济科学以及制定减少累犯的政策。这一博士论文研究项目将调查改造监狱是否能降低监狱释放人员的再犯罪率和劳动力市场参与度。该项目还将调查囚犯一旦被监狱条件改造,在获释后如何适应和影响他们的社区。这项研究将使用实验方法和来自两种替代监狱系统-传统惩罚系统和现代改造系统--的数据来提供关于这些问题的经验证据。私人侦查员可以获得关于从传统监狱和改造监狱释放的囚犯的独特数据集。这一研究项目的结果将有助于制定政策,提高美国惩教系统的效率,从而确立美国在刑事改革方面的全球领先地位。这一博士论文研究项目将研究改造监狱对累犯率的影响,释放人员的劳动力市场依恋,以及释放人员如何为社会做出贡献。私人侦查员拥有从传统监狱和改造监狱释放的囚犯的访问数据集。这项研究将使用两个准实验研究设计项目来确定因果参数。第一个项目使用工具变量方法来比较随机分配给具有不同监禁偏好和监狱类型的法官的个人,以确定在惩罚性监狱或改造监狱中监禁对累犯的因果影响,以及它们之间的差异。第二个项目采用差异性估计战略,利用不同的改过自新监狱的推出来确定额外改过自新时间的长期影响。在服刑时间较短的同时被送进改造监狱的人与服刑时间较长的人背道而驰,因为监狱根据许多因素将个人归类为同质组,而不是时间。这两组估计都将为大规模监狱改革对累犯率的影响提供严格的证据。这一信息对美国政策制定者和监狱官员来说很重要,因为他们正在应对大规模的监禁人口和被认为是当前系统的失败。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
