Is Work Associated With More or Less Criminal Involvement in the Short-Term? New Evidence of the Former Among a Justice-Involved Sample
We inquire whether commitment to employment has an immediate suppressive effect (i.e., in the next month) on street crime. Analysis of retrospective monthly calendar data drawn from a random sample of prisoners reveals that it does not. In contrast, paycheck work co-occurs with income generating crime in almost half of the months in which participants are employed. Second, paycheck work is associated with an increase in the likelihood of subseque…
Surveillance and the experience of the Covid-19 pandemic for formerly incarcerated individuals
To date, most criminal justice research on COVID-19 has examined the rapid spread within prisons. We shift the focus to reentry via in-depth interviews with formerly incarcerated individuals in central Ohio, specifically focusing on how criminal justice contact affected the pandemic experience. In doing so, we use the experience of the pandemic to build upon criminological theories regarding surveillance, including both classic theories on survei…
Employment Application Criminal Record Questions and Willingness to Apply
Audits demonstrate fewer employer callbacks for applicants with criminal records, yet applicants may not apply for each position as assumed. When encountering criminal record questions (CRQs) or background check statements (BCSs), applicants may self-select out rather than divulge their record. We assess whether CRQs or BCSs affect self-selection using a mixed-method study of 303 adults with criminal records. Experimentally, the odds of selecting…
Assessing the Delivery of the Thinking for a Change Program in Modified Formats
This paper evaluates whether participation in the Thinking for a Change cognitive behavioral program produces improvement in social problemsolving skills in a prison context. Data are derived from a randomized experiment, with a focus on whether improvement in social problemsolving skills varies across modified delivery formats, and whether improvements are attributable to program completion or program dosage. We find that there are significant i…
The Significance of Race
Using mixed-methods guided by social movements and racial threat literatures, we examine advocacy and passage of “Ban-the-Box” policies removing criminal history inquiries from employment applications. Our content analysis reveals that organizations integral to passage centered their identity around racial justice, coalition-building, and addressing harms of the criminal justice system. Event history analyses among cities, counties, and states sh…
