Recidivism and Survival Time: Racial Disparity among Jail Ex-Inmates

Reoffending among serious juvenile offenders: A developmental perspective

“…Regarding race, Jung, Spjeldnes, and Yamatani (2010) found not only that African American males recidivated at a significantly higher rate than White males, but also that they recidivated in a shorter time frame. 1 Similarly, found that Black and Hispanic youth were more likely to fail earlier in comparison to Whites.…”

“…The popularity of the Cox models, in part, stems from their flexibility; that is, they do not require an initial hazard function, unlike the rival parametric models which assume a certain shape for the hazard function (Cox, 1972). 2 Cox models have extensively been used in criminological research, including family violence (Stansfield & Williams, 2014), racial differences (Jung et al, 2010), teen court process (Rasmussen, 2004), and sex offenders (Rice & Harris, 1997). Most recently, Wolff , Baglivio, Piquero, Vaughn et al (2015) examined the effects of adverse childhood experiences on the time between completion of a community-based juvenile justice service and re-arrest among a statewide sample of juvenile offenders in Florida.…”

“…Notes 1 Jung et al (2010) study was not based on juvenile offenders. 2 Since it is not intended to provide a full explanation about these models in the current study, readers can refer to other materials (Allison, 2014;Kleinbaum & Klein, 2011;Mills, 2011).…”

"She's My Baby": How Recently Incarcerated Fathers Experience Their Relationship with Their Daughters

“…Given historical and cultural trauma factors, particularly in relation to racial disparity in the criminal justice system, it would seem that examining this topic from a cultural standpoint may produce different results in terms of recollections around fathering (Jung, Spjeldnes, & Yamatani, 2010;Roh & Robinson, 2009). Finally, this study consisted of interviews with fathers who were recently released and had not been out of prison for a prolonged period of time.…”

Delinquency : a trajectory analysis of African-American males.

“…Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, racial and ethnic differences in the rates of both juvenile delinquency and adult crime have repeatedly been observed (Hawkins, laub, & lauritsen, 1998). In 2008, AfricanAmerican men were over represented in the jail population as follows: the total jail population consisted of 42.5 percent White men and 39.3 percent AfricanAmerican men while in the total U.S. population only about 6 percent were African-American men and 28 percent where white men (Jung & Yamatani, 2010). According to Mauer (2006), almost one-third of African-American males born in the beginning of the twenty-first century will spend some time behind bars, compared to 6% of White males.…”
