Doctoral Dissertation Research:"Residential Mobility Following Incarceration"

博士论文研究：监禁后的居住流动性主要研究者：格伦菲尔堡（宾夕法尼亚州立大学）共同主要研究者：科迪华纳（宾夕法尼亚州立大学）摘要每年，超过70万被定罪的罪犯从监狱释放，进入全国各地的城镇。尽管现有的研究表明，他们定居的地方对他们成功重返社会的机会有重要影响，但人们对获释的罪犯如何居住在某些社区却知之甚少。拟议的研究将利用包含居住和监禁历史的有限社会调查数据，以研究监禁对将个人分类到不同质量的社区的影响。因此，该研究将研究（1）监禁如何影响住宅流动决策，（2）个人在监狱后搬到的社区类型，以及（3）前囚犯社区位置是否对个人福祉产生不利影响。鉴于囚犯重返社会的范围，拟议的研究结果将提供重要的知识的作用，监禁在塑造住宅的结果。调查结果还将提出政策制定者可以通过有效立法促进住宅稳定以降低累犯率的途径。

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.
