Recidivism among drug offenders: A survival analysis of the effects of offender characteristics, type of offense, and two types of intervention

No change is a good change? Restrictive deterrence in illegal drug markets

“…The issue here is that it does not allow us to examine broader offending sequences. Also, while Broadhurst and Loh (1995) show that ethnicity, gender, age, occupation, and criminal justice status influence rearrest probabilities in Western Australia (see also Hepburn & Albonetti, 1994, for similar results in the U.S.), the current data set unfortunately does not include socio-demographic variables. Additionally, data quality issues prevented us from measuring changes in drug quantities aside from changes in the number of plants among cannabis cultivators.…”

Recidivism 12 Months After TASC

“…Past criminal conduct is highly associated with future criminal behavior (Hepburn & Albonetti, 1994;Spohn & Holleran, 2002). Therefore, it is critical that past criminal behavior be controlled for when looking at rearrests during the year after the TLC-TASC program.…”

Duration of the time to reconviction: Evidence from UK prisoner discharge data

“…Most of the existing studies that used duration methods focused on data for U.S. offenders and/or specific types of offenses (or groups of offenders), and relatively old data sets. For example, Hepburn and Albonetti (1994) studied 718 adult probationers with a record of drug offenses and concluded that young offenders and African-American offenders had a shorter time until recidivism. Lattimore, Visher, and Linster (1995) designed a study that analyzed the risk of reconviction for a sample of serious youthful offenders released from the California Youth Authority between 1981 and 1982.…”
