Abstract
En 中文
Only in the past decade has prisoner reentry been discovered and become a central policy concern in the United States. This is due in part to the sheer number of released inmates (more than 600,000 annually) and in part to a movement that has defined the issue as reentry. A growing number of programs have been created in prisons and the community. Implementing them effectively, however, poses substantial challenges. A wide diversity of programs fall wider the rubric and only a limited number of rigorous evaluations have been conducted. Research suggests that, overall, reentry services reduce recidivism, but program effects are heterogeneous and at times criminogenic. Effective programs tend to be consistent with the risk-needresponsivity model. A sustained effort to evaluate carefiilly designed programs rigorously is needed and may require development of a criminology of reentry. More needs to be understood about why recidivism rates are high in the first year after reentry, why some offenders have late -onset failure, whether who comes home matters, and how stigma and other collateral consequences of conviction can be managed.
