Recidivism among Adult Parolees: What Makes the Difference?

Kronick, Robert F.; Lambert, Dorothy E.; Lambert, E. Warren

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v28 n1-2 p61-69 1998

The relationship of 18 parolee characteristics to outcome of parole was investigated (N=254). Three variables predicted likelihood of parole violation: length of sentence; parole officer's assessment of risk; and previous parole (negative relationship). This study is discussed within labeling theory and its model of deviant career development. (EMK)
