The Mediating Role of Mental Health in the Link between Incarceration and Recidivism and Employment Outcomes Presented: San Francisco CA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2019 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Employment; Event History; Health, Mental/Psychological; Incarceration/Jail Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Extant research indicates a negative impact of incarceration on mental health. However, there has been less consideration of the potential role of mental health as a mediating factor in the relationship between incarceration and key reentry outcomes, such as recidivism and employment. To examine this, we use event history data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997. First, we examine the impact of incarceration on mental health. Second, we assess the extent to which the associations between incarceration, recidivism, and employment are explained by mental health. Our findings will provide insight into the mechanisms linking incarceration to recidivism and employment outcomes. |
