In the current study, the lifecourse perspective, as posited by Sampson and Laub (1993), was used to examine the relative effect of incarceration on social bond attainment. It was hypothesized that individuals who have been incarcerated would be less likely to attain bonds to marriage and work and the nature of bonds attained would be further diminished by the event. The hypotheses were tested using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Results from regression and growth curve models confirm the lifecourse perspective. Across all models estimated, incarceration was negatively associated with both the likelihood of attainment and the nature of the social bond. A number of significant relationships were found between static-individual predictors and social bond attainment; however, individual demographic factors were found only to be moderately related to the initial status of the individual and had little effect on the nature of change over time. The findings from this study reinforce the importance of adult social bonds in determining life trajectories. Implications of these findings are discussed in terms of their relevance to the study of prisoner reentry.

Researchers have highlighted the importance of marriage when studying variation in deviance over the life course, but few studies have examined the effect that incarceration has on marriage or have considered variation by race and ethnicity. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), this study contrasts the effect of incarceration on the likelihood of marriage for White, Black, and Hispanic males. Incarceration reduced the chances of marriage for all men, but had a significantly stronger effect on the marital outcomes for Whites. Although Whites were most likely to be married overall, incarceration was associated with a 59 percent decline in the odds of marriage for Whites, and the odds of marriage decreased 30 percent for Blacks and 41 percent for Hispanics. The association was maintained even after controlling for time-varying life-course events and static individual-level factors. This research has important implications for the study of the incarceration and the consequences it can have for spouses, families, and communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current study adopts the life course framework to examine the effect of incarceration on the likelihood of becoming married and attaining full-time employment. It is hypothesized that men who have been incarcerated will be less likely to marry and to gain full-time employment. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are used to test the hypothesis. Results from the growth-curve models support the life-course theoretical model. Across all models estimated, incarceration is negatively associated with marriage and employment. In addition, positive milestones (e.g., education) are associated with improved chances of employment and marriage. The findings reinforce the importance of considering a multitude of life events when estimating life trajectories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Researchers have estimated that 63 percent of incarcerated women have one or more minor children and most reported living with their children prior to incarceration (Mumola, 2000). Unfortunately, children of incarcerated parents have been a relatively invisible population in the research on the collateral consequences of incarceration. The goal of the current study was to examine the long-term effect of maternal incarceration on adult offspring involvement in the criminal justice system using data from the mother-child sample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. Based on existing research, it was hypothesized that the adult offspring of incarcerated mothers would be more likely to have been convicted of a crime or to be sentenced to probation. The effect of maternal incarceration on correlates of criminal behavior in adolescence and early adulthood (e.g., negative peer influences, positive home environment) was also modeled to assess possible indirect effects. The results highlighted the direct effect of incarceration on adult offspring involvement in the criminal justice system, but parental incarceration had little association with correlates of criminal behavior.
