abstract: 'Prior research has shown that employed parolees are less likely to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recidivate. Yet, these studies often ignore the underlying employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context of the neighborhoods to which parolees return. Given that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parolees often reside in disadvantaged neighborhoods, it is likely that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
few potential employment opportunities exist nearby, and those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities that do exist are of relatively poor quality. This study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examines the influence of geographic access to employment opportunities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the likelihood of recidivism. We use a unique data set of parolees
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and jobs in Ohio to determine whether parolees living closer to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
greater number of potential employers or higher-paying jobs are less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to recidivate. Further, we examine if these relationships are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditioned by parolee race. More job opportunities and higher paying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jobs closer to the parolees'' homes increase recidivism, and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likelihood of recidivating is highest within smaller geographic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distances. Because many parolees reside in the inner city, jobs located
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
within close proximity of parolees are likely white-collar, reflecting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the increased competition for low-skill jobs close to where the parolee
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lives. Our findings indicate that this may be particularly true for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
black parolees. This suggests policy changes that reduce competition for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-skill positions and facilitate parolees'' ability to secure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment are needed.'
