        May 2010
      
            The management of sexual offenders in the community post-release is an issue of increasing concern to law enforcement, policymakers and the public. In recent years, efforts to strengthen registration and notification have been enhanced. At the same time, comparatively little attention has been paid to related matters, such as how residency restrictions may impact offenders' efforts to find stable work and living arrangements once they are released from prison, whether rates of recidivism have changed, and whether these policies increase the safety of potential victims.How Research Is Translated to Policy and Practice in the Criminal Justice SystemOfficer Safety Part 2 of 2 in a Series on Correctional Officer WellnessUsing Restrictive Housing to Manage Gangs in U.S. PrisonsGreening Corrections Impacts More Than the Environment

        February 2014
      
            Scientific studies have long documented the negative impact of a prison record on a person's ability to find employment. But what is the impact when gender and race/ethnicity are factored in? Also, most jobs are now advertised online — so how does this affect the ability of former prisoners to find a job?
