Abstract Details

2013, Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ), Bowling Green State University, Criminal Justice.
The literature on recidivism often discusses a strong link to returning ex-offenders' abilities to reenter their community or family unit in a successful manner with repeat criminal behaviors. Varied survey methods used in tracking recidivism rates have shown over time that recidivism rates have stayed relatively stable. This study analyzes data from a community-based correctional facility (CBCF) and state prisons. Post-release recidivism outcomes and their relationship to placement of individuals sentenced to a CBCF facility, prison and then a step-down program at a CBCF are examined. Overall, the findings support the idea that recidivism has not one significant factor but many. Type of placement was not related to post-release recidivism. Future research is essential to plans in effective recidivism reduction approaches and successful reentry programming by drawing attention to the needs of the individuals returning to our communities.
