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.'
