Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • Prisoner reentry initiatives face challenges due to insufficient public support, potentially hindering their long-term viability.
  • Existing research lacks multivariate analyses on factors correlating with support for prisoner reentry policies.
  • A gap exists in psychometric measures for assessing public support for prisoner reentry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the dimensionality of public support for prisoner reentry interventions.
  • To identify key factors influencing support for prisoner reentry policies.
  • To address the lack of explanatory analyses on correlates of support for prisoner reentry.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to examine the structure of support.
  • Employed ordinary least squares (OLS) regression for multivariate analysis.
  • Analyzed data from a sample of residents in a Midwestern state.

Main Results:

  • Confirmed a three-factor model for public support of prisoner reentry.
  • Identified support for transitional programs building skills for reintegration.
  • Found support for post-release transitional housing and opposition to denying housing opportunities.

Conclusions:

  • Public support for prisoner reentry is multi-dimensional, encompassing programs, housing, and housing rights.
  • Findings provide a foundation for developing psychometric measures to assess support.
  • Results have implications for future research and policy development in prisoner reentry.
