Incarceration and Family Transitions in Young Adulthood Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Childbearing; Childbearing, Adolescent; Cohabitation; Family Process Measures; Incarceration/Jail; Marital Dissolution; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. I make three contributions to family demographic research on the effects of incarceration on family processes. First, I revisit the question of the influence of incarceration on family formation and family stability using data that are better suited to the measurement of these events than the data used in previous research. Using life history calendar data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (1997-2009), a longitudinal study of 8,984 men and women in the United States, I establish the timing of incarcerations relative to the following family transitions: entry into cohabiting and marital unions and exit from cohabiting and marital unions. Second, I conduct the first prospective study of the consequences of incarceration for the timing of childbearing among adolescents and young adults. Third, I take into account the timing, frequency, and durations of incarcerations to better understand the relationship between incarceration and family processes. |
