▼ Recidivism among adolescent offenders is a significant problem as the number of youths recommitted to penal institutions continues to grow each year. Research has identified several risk-factors that contribute to antisocial behavior, but there is significantly less research on risk-factors for re-offending among juvenile delinquents or protective factors that help prevent recidivism among adolescent offenders. Additionally, research has shown that effective treatment of female juvenile delinquents requires specialized conceptualization and treatment. The current study investigated the risk-factors for continued adolescent offending, the protective factors which prevent further delinquent behavior, and gender differences utilizing the BASC-2-SRP, BASC-2-PRS, and URICA. The Behavior Assessment System for Children, 2nd Edition assess for the presence of both risk-factors and protective factors among youth, while the URICA is helpful in assessing for readiness to change. Results found that several scales and composite scores of the BASC-2-PRS are predictive of recidivism. Several of the predictive variables included risk-factors such as aggression, conduct problems, hyperactivity, and externalizing behaviors. Additionally, several protective factors were shown to predict lower recidivism, such as adaptability, social skills, and leadership. Interestingly, neither of the risk-factors or the protective factors could predict recidivism alone. This suggests that no single category exclusively predicts adolescent offending, but there is a dynamic interaction between risk and resiliency. Regarding gender, results indicate that the BASC-2-SRP appears to be more sensitive than the BASC-2-PRS when identifying gender differences. Consistent with prior research, females endorsed a high number of symptoms indicative of hopelessness, low self-esteem, low self-reliance, interpersonal conflict, and a sense of inadequacy on the BASC-2-SRP. Inconsistent with prior research, however, results indicated that males reported higher levels of anxiety and depression than females on the BASC-2-SRP. This trend is historically not common within male adolescent offending populations. No significant correlations were found regarding recidivism, gender, rate of recidivism, or type of offense upon recidivism on the URICA. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.

Though women are less likely than men to be incarcerated and are disproportionately outnumbered in United States jails and prisons (Guerino et al., 2011; Minton, 2013), women in state facilities are more likely to report being parents (Glaze & Maruschak, 2008; Mumola, 2000) and most plan to rekindle maternal relationships with their children upon their release (Barnes & Stringer, 2014; Hairston, 1991). Research demonstrates that women face substantial burdens during their reentry into the community, but reentry burdens may be more challenging to women of color who stand at the intersection of sexism and racism (Brown, 2010; Roberts, 1993). Ethnic differences among Black women are overlooked, however, as existing knowledge of women’s experiences is often constructed along a Black/White dichotomy. Furthermore, self-conceptions as mothers, social expectations of mothers, and attempts to mother may place additional burdens on formerly incarcerated women with children. Yet, motherhood is still understood as a motivating factor in women’s lives post-incarceration (Brown & Bloom, 2009; Hayes, 2009). This study investigates how formerly incarcerated women navigate motherhood and how this process influences mothers’ reintegration after their release from imprisonment. The research draws on 37 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with formerly incarcerated mothers. These women’s narratives focus on the role that maternal desires, decisions and behaviors play across various aspects of life post-incarceration: parenting, employment and finances, living arrangements, custody of children, as well as recovery from histories of addiction. This study utilized a comparative sampling strategy to unpack the experiences of groups viewed collectively as “minorities” and to examine similarities and differences among African American, West Indian and Hispanic formerly incarcerated mothers. There is also a comparative feature across varying degrees of contact with children (both minor and adult children) – specifically, mothers living with their children, mothers not living with their children but remaining in contact, and mothers without contact. This study not only examines post-incarceration reintegration for formerly incarcerated mothers but it captures the intersectionality of criminal status, gender, and race/ethnicity. Furthermore, its comparative features go beyond common racial-ethnic labels and classifications of mother-child relationships in understanding the role of navigating motherhood in women’s reintegration after incarceration.

▼ This thesis argues that the design of the built environment of a prison can have a huge impact on lowering recidivism rates of prisoners in New Zealand. It proposes that this can be achieved through the development of a new health model/framework that facilitates positive relationships between families, prison staff and other inmates; supports spiritual, mental and physical health; equips inmates for participation to society upon release; and gives them a sense of identity. It further argues that this framework can then be applied to the design process to create a new precedent for prison design that effectively rehabilitates and reintegrates its inmates into society. The work of key architects, and theorists such as Hohensinn Architektur and Dominique Moran, have been analysed to help translate their successful designs and theories into a New Zealand model of correctional facility. Prisons are institutions of deprivation and isolation. Marginalised by and separated from community, they are maintained by physical and psychological structures designed only to isolate. Imprisonment results in individuals embittered and hardened by the experience, who are likely to reoffend, and become lifelong participants in the criminal justice system. New Zealand’s prison population has been substantially increasing since the 1980s. The current imprisonment rate per population is the second highest in the Western World, second only to the United States. This increase is due to a combination of changes in political economy, an attitude of exclusion of minority groups by the criminal justice system and a rise in penal populism. New Zealand currently imprisons 212 people for every 100,000, and has a recidivism rate of 50 percent. Māori represent over 50 percent of our prison population, whilst only 15 percent of the overall New Zealand population. These statistics are self-evident; our prisons aren’t working. They are not successfully rehabilitating and reintegrating inmates into society. This design-led research investigation offers a new process for prison design: one that strives to design for humans, humans of intrinsic moral worth. This is based on the premise that all people are capable of change and improvement; creating impactful change through design to the extremely high recidivism rates of inmates in New Zealand.

▼ The purpose of the proposed study was to examine if differences existed in the riskfactors predictive of recidivism in adolescent male offenders versus adolescent femaleoffenders. Specific independent variables examined included special educationdiagnosis, diagnosis of an emotional disability, diagnosis of a learning disability, age attime of the most serious offense, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, grade point average,high school credits, grade level, standardized achievement scores in reading, writing, and math, adjudication status, offense history, and offense severity. It was hypothesized that these variables would not predict sex membership or recidivism in female delinquents,but would significantly predict recidivism in male juvenile delinquents. It was also hypothesized that no significant differences would exist between factors predictive of recidivism in male versus those for female delinquents.In regard to factors predicting group membership, analysis indicated that offenseseverity could significantly differentiate between male and female delinquents. Forrecidivism in female delinquents, analyses found that 7 of 21 factors were significantlypredictive of recidivism in females, including: total number of parole violations,diagnosis of an emotional disability, total number of status offenses, adjudication status,the total number of personal and property misdemeanor offenses, and grade pointaverage. For males, 9 of 21 variables significantly predicted recidivism, including: totalnumber of parole violations, diagnosis of an emotional disability, standardized readingperformance scores, total number of status offenses, total number of drug offenses,adjudication status, total personal and property misdemeanor offenses, and grade level.Thus, six predictor variables for recidivism were shared by both female and maledelinquents, namely, total parole violations, diagnosis of an emotional disability, totalstatus offenses, adjudication status, total misdemeanor personal offenses, and totalmisdemeanor property offenses. A hierarchical regression was also computed with sex as an independent variable, resulting in 12 variables being predictive of recidivism. Theresults revealed that differences existed between males and females in terms ofrecidivism, and highlight that risk assessment instruments should be individualized based on sex of the juvenile. The implications of these findings, areas for future research, and limitations to the study are discussed.

▼ This thesis addresses the growing number of inmates with a mental illness in correctional facilities in Canada which continues to attract public attention and concern. Several explanations have been put forward to explain the rise in the number of inmates with a mental illness. These include: the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill that began in the 1970’s, lack of treatment availability for those released into the community, and criminalization of persons with a mental illness by the justice system. The increasing numbers of persons with a mental illness in the correctional system has led to serious concerns about the capacity of this system to manage, treat, and rehabilitate individuals with a mental illness. Lack of proper treatment, management, rehabilitation and monitored discharge means that inmates with serious mental illness are more likely to come into contact with the criminal justice system more frequently. This thesis examines the incidence seriously mentally ill offenders and their propensity to recontact. Three hundred and ninety eight face-to-face assessments were conducted using the Resident Assessment Instrument-Mental Health 2.0 (RAI-MH) and from total scores from the Level of Service Inventory Ontario Revision (LSI-OR). These assessments were conducted in 14 Ontario Provincial Correctional facilities during the years 2005-2008. Bivariate and multivariate regression analysis was conducted to assess recontact rates for serious mentally disordered and non-mentally disordered offenders. With regards to recontact, no differences were revealed between the seriously mentally ill offender and non-mentally ill offender. This null finding on recontact is very surprising given the current literature on the seriously mentally ill. An additional finding revealed that for offenders with or without a serious mental illness, having a higher score on the scale of criminogenic tendencies (LSI-OR) increased rates for recontact. Another surprising finding is that seriously mentally ill offenders were more likely to commit minor crimes upon release, rather than violent crimes as current literature suggests. A more accurate research tool, as well as a larger sample size, will be required to assess the validity of these results. The implications of the negative outcome with respect to recontact and issues of identifiable risk factors for recidivism for both seriously mentally ill and non-mentally ill inmate populations are discussed in relation to outcomes in terms of both improvements to Corrections policy and theories of criminology. It is important to continue research in this area, to determine the true gravity of the incidence and recontact rates of mentally ill offenders.

▼ At least 80% of Aboriginal people in Australian prisons have been there before. They have long been over-represented, constituting 27% of the Australian prison population yet 3% of the community population. These disproportionate numbers highlight that existing legal, prison and throughcare policies and programs remain ineffective. The limited inclusion of Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices in policy and programs renders them theoretically and culturally irrelevant, despite documented commitments by governments to enact the wholistic definition of Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Programs inadequately address underlying and compounding risk factors such as poverty, poor health, discrimination and racism. The vast criminal justice research and advocacy on preventing reincarceration recommends that people need more support after release from prison, with the community better prepared to provide it especially in urban areas where most are released. Public health studies show mounting evidence that Aboriginal cultural processes strengthen family and community connections and promote health and wellbeing. Social work studies acknowledge that social support is instrumental in assisting a person to transition from one life phase to another, as an independent determinant of health and wellbeing. At the intersection of criminal justice, health and social work, this research aimed to explore post-prison release social support from an urban Aboriginal perspective, and its role in preventing reincarceration. Designed as a qualitative grounded theory study, three rounds of data collection were completed, comprising 36 in-depth interviews with individual Aboriginal ex-prisoners released from prison at least two years prior to interview, as well as Aboriginal family members and Aboriginal service providers. This research identified a range of connective, practical, emotional and spiritual post-prison supports, as well as the timeliness of support, and the relationships in which support occurred. Many participants explained their multiple roles in preventing reincarceration – being at once family members, peers, service providers and holders of voluntary governance positions, providing support across individual, family, community and system levels. This thesis and its underlying research proposes that an ecological model of health could usefully inform criminal justice policy and practices, through embedding contemporary Aboriginal world views and leadership in mechanisms urgently needed for reducing incarceration rates.

▼

Gainful employment is a crucial and normative force that can help individuals desist from crime and avoid repeat justice system contact (recidivism). Despite the importance of employment, people with prior justice contact are often unemployed or marginally employed in low-wage jobs, typically clustered within one of seven industries. This study hypothesized that working in certain industries would be more conducive to desistance than working in others, holding important variables like occupation constant. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and discrete-time hazard analysis with individual-fixed effects, this study tested whether working in particular industries was associated with risk of rearrest for adults with at least one prior arrest. Using Quarterly Workforce Indicator data, this study also tested whether greater job availability in industries typically willing to hire people with prior justice contact was associated with risk of rearrest. After controlling for a number of important time-varying covariates such as educational attainment, occupation, and criminal history, being employed in the construction industry was associated with lower odds of rearrest relative to being employed in the food services industry or being unemployed. No other industries were significantly related to risk of rearrest across the full sample. Subgroup analyses revealed statistically significant differences in the correlation between industry of employment, job availability, and rearrest by gender, age, race and ethnicity, as well as by offense history. Supplemental analyses showed a nuanced interplay between industry and occupation that differed according to the industry and the subgroup examined. Potential explanations for these findings, limitations of the current study, and areas of future research are discussed.

Tilgangur rannsóknarinnnar var að greina síbrotamenn á Íslandi, fjölda fangelsisdóma sem þeir afplánuðu, aldur þeirra og við fyrsta, og þriðja fangelsisdóm ásamt því að greina hvaða tegund brots leiddi til fangelsisvistar í hverri afplánun. Gögn rannsóknarinnar voru byggð á gagnagrunnum Fangelsismálastofnunnar ríkisins. Í rannsókninni var síbrotamaður skilgreindur sem einstaklingur sem hafði afplánað óskilorðsbundinn fangelsisdóm þrisvar sinnum eða oftar á tímabilinu 1995-2012. Samkvæmt skilgreiningunni voru 185 karlmenn og þrjár konur í rannsóknargögnunum sem voru skilgreindir síbrotamenn og voru þeir á aldursbilinu 15-76 ára en einungis voru upplýsingar um karlkyns afbrotamenn greindar í rannsókninni. Niðurstöður sýndu að meirihluti síbrotamannanna hlutu fyrsta fangelsisdóminn á aldursbilinu 15-24 ára og meirihluti síbrotamannanna hlutu aftur fangelsisdóma eftir þriðju afplánun. Niðurstöður gáfu einnig til kynna að marktækur munur var á milli tegunda brota eftir aldri síbrotamanna við fyrsta dóm. Þá gáfu niðurstöðurnar til kynna að meirihluti brota síbrotamanna töldust til vægari brota þegar brot voru flokkuð eftir alvarleika. Af niðurstöðum má álykta að nauðsynlegt er að skoða betur hegðun síbrotamamanna og félagslegt umhverfi þeirra til að reyna að sporna við afbrotum á Íslandi.

The aim of the study was to analyze recidivist offenders in Iceland, number of prison sentence they served, age at first and third prison sentence and what was the main type of offence that lead to each prison sentence. The research data was based on The Prison and Probation Administration databases. A recidivist offender was defined in the research as an individual who had served an unconditioned prison sentence three times or more within the time period 1995-2012. A total of 185 males, aged 15-76 years, matched the definition of a recidivist in the study. Three women were defined as recidivist offenders in Iceland but they are excluded from the study. The results indicated that majority of recidivist offenders in Iceland were first imprisoned at the age of 15-24 years. The findings also indicated that there was a significant difference between type of offence by the age at first prison sentence. Finally, the results indicated that the majority of the recidivists´ offences were within the category of lower severe offences. In conclusion, the results indicate that it is of great importance to study the behaviour and social environment of recidivist offenders in Iceland more thoroughly to design prevention and intervention strategies.

▼ A unique series of convict portraits was created at Tasmania’s Port Arthur penal station in 1873 and 1874. While these photographs are often reproduced, their author remained unidentified, their purpose unknown. The lives of their subjects also remained unexamined. This study used government records, contemporary newspaper reportage, convict memoirs, historical research and modern criminological theory to identify the photographer, to discover the purpose and use of his work, and to develop an understanding of the criminal careers of these men. The photographer was probably the penultimate commandant of Port Arthur, Adolarius Humphrey Boyd. Rather than representing the entire inmate population at the time of the station’s closure, the project photographed only the men who were probably regarded as a risk to the community. The purpose of these photographs was assumed to be associated with policing but, unlike the practice in Britain and Europe, this turned out not to be the case. Instead, these images were adhered to each man’s Hobart Gaol record. Tasmanian police refused to adopt the practice of circulating images of offenders, claiming that their local knowledge was sufficient. This confidence was misplaced. Most of these men were arrested by members of their own community, exploding the myth of mateship. In asking why these men continually reoffended, I developed criteria based on modern theories of recidivism, and tested the life experience of these men against them. I found that this group of men met all the pre-conditions developed by criminologists for recidivism. In Britain and Tasmania they were chronically disadvantaged. In Tasmania they were brutalised as convicts, tainted forever by their time at Port Arthur and, as a result, rejected by society as emancipists. The criminal sub-culture, defiantly opposed to conventional standards of respectability, offered them acceptance. These photographs played their part in a society and a regime fated to create recidivists. They proved to their subjects, and to the world, that the subjects were outcasts. Almost 150 years later, they continue to affirm the criminal identity of these former Port Arthur inmates.

▼ The primary purpose of this study was to determine if the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections’ 100 hour pre-release program and vocational education had a significant impact on offender recidivism. Additionally, a model of predicating offender recidivism using demographic data was another aspect of the study. Offenders in the study were 404 offenders who completed the pre-release program, 404 offenders who completed vocational education and 808 offenders who composed the control group. All offenders were released from prison in the year of 2010, and if they returned to prison between their release and December 31, 2013, they were considered to have been a recidivist for the purpose of the study. The effectiveness of the 100 hour pre-release and vocational education was conducted using SPSS with the chi-square test for program significance. Based on the test, neither program was found to have a significant impact on recidivism. However, when examining percentages of return to prison between the three groups, vocational education offenders performed the best and offenders who completed the 100 hour pre-release program had the highest percentage of offenders returning to prison. The ability to develop a predictive model for recidivism utilizing select demographic factors was attempted using SPSS with the Binary Logistical Regression analysis. The demographic factors used were age, sex, race, marital status and education. A predictive model was unable to be established with this population. However, when looking at the population, being a male or a young offender was found to be predictors that were significantly tied with offender recidivism as individual characteristics. Based on the body of research and the findings of the study, recommendations concerning the 100 hour pre-release program and vocational education suggest these programs need additional components of cognitive development training and community supports to show a greater impact on recidivism. Also, the creation of a reliable and valid risk model based on the total offender population is necessary. By implementing effective programs and having the correct offenders entering these programs, a reduction in recidivism may be more significant.

▼ The focus of this research was to provide descriptive research on the social phenomenon of Mental Health Courts (MHC). This thesis begins with a description of how a community in Northwestern Ontario developed a MHC to assist in reducing the involvement of mentally disordered individuals with the criminal justice system. This initiative was done without additional funds and was a unique response to a growing community issue. This research describes the demographic characteristics of the clients with the MHC in Kenora compared with those clients not involved in MHCs to determine if involvement with MHCs reduces mentally disordered individuals’ involvement with the criminal justice system. This comparison study examined the characteristics of individuals involved within the Mental Health Diversion & Court Support (MHD&CS) program at the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kenora Branch in 2005 and compared them with characteristics of individuals who were involved in the program in 2010 who were also involved in the MHC in Kenora. The results from this analysis indicated that the following demographic characteristics yielded statistically significant differences between 2005 and 2010: if participants had residence support and to what level, if participants were presenting with anxiety symptoms, and if participants were presenting with depressive symptoms The results indicated those individuals from 2010 who were involved with the MHC reoffended less than those from 2005 who were in the regular court stream. Therefore, it could be concluded that individuals’ participation in the MHC may have influenced recidivism rates of individuals involved in the MHD&CS program. The results for readmission to hospital indicated a lower percentage of participants in 2010 who were readmitted to hospital compared to participants in 2005. Therefore, it could be concluded that having individuals participate in the MHC may have influenced individuals being readmitted to hospital. When examining which of the significant descriptive variables were statistically significant with either re-offence rates or readmission to hospital rates within their prospective years, there was only one variable that was statistically significant; this was the variable in the 2010 sample of whether participants were experiencing symptoms of depression and if they were readmitted to hospital. The chi-square results indicated that there was an association between participants exhibiting signs of depression in 2010 and being readmitted to hospital. Therefore, it appears that those individuals with symptoms of depression who were part of the MHC were more likely to be readmitted to hospital.

▼ This research is an exploratory case study focused on Quixote House; an initiative developed by the non-profit sector to support offenders released into community after incarceration. The high rates of recidivism, characteristic of contemporary society, have sparked many scientific endeavours aimed at reducing what seems to be a failure of the current correctional and justice systems. Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) approaches, such as Restorative Justice, find common ground with critical theorists of modernity when addressing the negative impact of interventions without regard for places and relationships. Today, Correctional Service Canada (CSC) officers and inmates across the country know about Quixote House. About 50 men from Stony Mountain Institution, the federal penitentiary in Manitoba, all of whom committed serious crimes, have lived in this house. This thesis explores the experiences and perceptions of 11 of those men with regards to their reintegration and the role this house played in their success. In addition, the experiences of the two founders of the house, six CSC staff, and my own experience, as a resident of the house for the last six years, are included. The central objectives of this qualitative study are to analyze those experiences empirically, to provide a framework for better understanding Quixote House, and to propose possible improvements, from the perspective provided by PACS, with respect to theory and practice of offender reintegration into community. The findings show: (1) the lingering effects of institutionalization and stigma, (2) the importance of safety based on trusting relationships and ‘home’ on the road to reintegration, (3) the significance of community in the ways released offenders begin to meet their needs after incarceration, (4) the crucial role of the non-profit sector and volunteers in providing a safety net and (5) the open possibility of new kinship in which a non-judgmental approach to offenders can be experienced. All of these findings point to the positive impact Quixote House has had on released offenders in its 10 years of existence.

▼

With an increasing number of offenders released to the community from prisons each year, prisoner reentry has become an important area of focus for criminal justice practitioners and policymakers. Parole supervision was originally established as a means of offender reintegration, but high rates of re-offending present a challenge to discretionary release to parole supervision. As a result, the most important function of parole supervision has shifted to the protection of public safety, leading to the development of risk prediction instruments used to identify offender risk to the community. While early forms of risk assessment used limited practices of professional judgment to predict offender risk, more contemporary risk assessment instruments use individual factors known to affect recidivism to determine offenders who pose the greatest risk to society once they are released from prison. The present study examined the reliability and validity of one such instrument, the Correctional Offender Management for Profiling Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS) tool, using a diverse sample of male offenders released to parole supervision in New York City. Specifically, this study assessed the psychometric properties of the COMPAS using correlations and internal consistency estimates to assess reliability. The predictive validity of the COMPAS composite risk scores on several recidivism outcomes was assessed using AUC and RIOC analyses. Additionally, this dissertation study compared the predictive validity of the two composite COMPAS risk scores with the predictive validity of risk scores calculating using several static factors from each offender’s computerized case history (CCH) known as the DCJS any risk and risk for violence scores on a re-arrest for any crime and a re-arrest for a violent crime. Results from this study indicate that the COMPAS is a reliable risk/needs instrument with this sample. While the COMPAS composite recidivism risk and history of noncompliance scores achieve moderate predictive validity on their corresponding outcomes, the COMPAS composite violent recidivism risk score does not. When the COMPAS composite recidivism risk score is compared to the DCJS any risk score on validity in predicting re-arrest, the DCJS risk score, based solely on static variables, out-performs the COMPAS. The implications of this research for parole practice and policy, both locally in the State of New York and more broadly, as well as directions for future research, are also discussed.
