“…Hence, given previous findings discussed above~e.g., Latessa & Travis, 1992!, it was hypothesized that offenders with a low level of drug use were less likely to recidivate. Although a number of studies have found that prior criminal history is an important predictor of recidivism~English & Mande, 1991;Hartmann, Friday, & Minor, 1994;Moczydlowski, 1980!, there is very little research on the influence of prior victimization and exposure to violence on recidivism. A number of longitudinal studies have shown that prior victimization is associated with adult nonviolent and violent criminal behavior~cf.…”

“…Frequently, these programs have specialized on drug treatment, counseling, education or employment (Smykla, 1981, cited in Latessa & Travis, 1991. Halfway houses that contain a substantial focus on assisting offenders in seeking and maintaining stable employment have been evaluated somewhat favorably by several authors (Latessa & Travis, 1991;Hartmann, Friday, & Minor, 1994).…”

A number of jurisdictions have adopted vocational education and employment programs intended, among other aims, to reduce recidivism among adult correctional populations. Because of the well-established links between low educational attainment, unemployment and crime, these programs do seem to target a risk factor for recidivism. Whether, in fact, they are effective in reducing future offending behavior is still open to question. This review assesses the empirical status of the effectiveness of vocational education and employment programs by drawing conclusions based upon systematic rankings of methodological rigor of individual program evaluations. Evaluation research in vocational education/job training, community employment, and correctional industries program areas was assessed. Based upon rankings of methodological rigor and specific decision criteria for assessing overall empirical support for program effectiveness, several types were identified as generally successful at reducing offender recidivism, including vocational education, multi-component correctional industry, and community employ-Downloaded by [Queensland University of Technology] at 06:34 21 November 2014 JOURNAL OF OFFENDER REHABILITATION 2 ment programs. The pervasive lack of rigorous program evaluation in this area limits the kinds of conclusions that can be drawn and points toward a clear research agenda for providing stronger evidence on the effectiveness of vocational education and correctional work programs.

“…Findings by Walsh and Beck (1990) indicate that decreased alcohol use and attendance at religious services was associated with successful re-entry among halfway house participants. Hartmann and Friday (1994) did a follow-up study on halfway house discharges from a prison release cohort and found that racial minorities and unsuccessful program completers were more likely to recidivate. Hitchcock, Stainback and Roque (1995) found that those attending group sessions and individual therapy were most likely to be dual completers.…”

This article seeks to identify short and long term effects of halfway house completion on parole success and subsequent recidivism from a sample of offenders released from a northeastern state's correctional facilities between 2004 and 2008. Using propensity score matching techniques, we compare parolees released to parole after successfully completing a residential treatment program to a matched group of parolees released directly into the community from a correctional facility. Analyses show that parolees who successfully complete a halfway house program are more likely to successfully complete parole but the effect on residential programming on long-term recidivism are negligible.
