“…The impact of deportations may be similar to that of mass incarceration, which also has concentrated effects on certain sectors of U.S. society. If so, one should expect mass deportations to reduce trust in government and to weaken community networks for political mobilization by plucking out many nodes in individuals’ social networks (Burch, ; Wildeman, ). The act of deporting people is among the most direct ways in which state power is imposed upon society, and in an era of mass deportations this is an urgent topic for further research.…”

Objective. The U.S. government continues to deport large numbers of undocumented Latino immigrants. We address the likely effects of these policies on Latino partisanship. Methods. We use a survey experiment to test the effects of information about mass deportations on partisan evaluations among young second-generation Latinos. Results. Young U.S.-born Latinos view the Democratic Party as less welcoming when informed that deportations have been higher under President Obama than under his predecessor. Because most young U.S.-born Latinos are either weak partisans or political independents, there is wide scope for information effects among these potential voters. Conclusion. Mass deportation policies have the potential to reshape the partisanship and politics of Latinos for years to come.

“…For example, future research might consider the role of neighborhood context in immediate life circumstances that have been linked to crime trajectories (Horney et al 1995, Laub & Sampson 2001), such as family formation/reunification, school enrollment, employment, and substance use. Other important aspects of prisoner reintegration in which neighborhoods could play an important role include the formation of social ties (Berg & Huebner 2010), civic participation (Burch 2014, Lerman & Weaver 2014), and health (Schnittker & John 2007). …”

Since the mid-1970s the United States has experienced an enormous rise in incarceration and accompanying increases in returning prisoners and in post-release community correctional supervision. Poor urban communities are disproportionately impacted by these phenomena. This review focuses on two complementary questions regarding incarceration, prisoner reentry, and communities:(1) whether and how mass incarceration has affected the social and economic structure of American communities, and (2) how residential neighborhoods affect the social and economic reintegration of returning prisoners. These two questions can be seen as part of a dynamic process involving a pernicious “feedback” loop, in which mass incarceration undermines the structure and social organization of some communities, thus creating more criminogenic environments for returning prisoners and further diminishing their prospects for successful reentry and reintegration.

“…… Many former offenders never got a first chance, let alone a second one" (p. 81). Given this limitation, can the three-R approach address or repair the damage done by the collateral consequences of mass imprisonment, such as the deterioration of public trust and political participation (Lerman and Weaver 2014;Burch 2014)? current evidence demonstrates that the reforms, in rhetoric and practice, mainly target nonviolent and drug offenders (Beckett et al, this volume).…”

In the past 10 years, state legislatures from across the political spectrum have passed or considered reforms aimed at reducing prison populations. The breadth of reform challenges social science scholarship that views mass incarceration as “locked-in” by political, social, and economic forces and, as such, presents an important area of scholarly inquiry. In this article, I argue that new research on reform should be animated by a sociopolitical perspective on punishment that developed out of social science research explaining the rise of mass incarceration. In particular, I pose research questions, hypotheses, and potential methodologies related to (1) the causes of the new moment of reform; (2) the variation in reform efforts; and (3) the process, content, and political effects of reform. I conclude by briefly summarizing what we know about the underlying rationales and strategies of this new moment.
