CHAPTER 2—REENTRY RESEARCH 
SEC. 241. OFFENDER REENTRY RESEARCH. 
(a) NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE.—The National Institute 
of Justice may conduct research on juvenile and adult offender 
reentry, including— 
(1) a study identifying the number and characteristics of 
minor children who have had a parent incarcerated, and the 
likelihood of such minor children becoming adversely involved 
in the criminal justice system some time in their lifetime; 
(2) a study identifying a mechanism to compare rates of 
recidivism (including rearrest, violations of parole, probation, 
post-incarceration supervision, and reincarceration) among 
States; and 
(3) a study on the population of offenders released from 
custody who do not engage in recidivism and the characteristics 
(housing, employment, treatment, family connection) of that 
population. 
(b) BUREAU OF JUSTICE STATISTICS.—The Bureau of Justice 
Statistics may conduct research on offender reentry, including— 
(1) an analysis of special populations (including prisoners 
with mental illness or substance abuse disorders, female 
offenders, juvenile offenders, offenders with limited English 
proficiency, and the elderly) that present unique reentry chal-
lenges; 
(2) studies to determine which offenders are returning to 
prison, jail, or a juvenile facility and which of those returning 
offenders represent the greatest risk to victims and community 
safety; 
(3) annual reports on the demographic characteristics of 
the population reentering society from prisons, jails, and juve-
nile facilities; 
(4) a national recidivism study every 3 years; 
(5) a study of parole, probation, or post-incarceration super-
vision violations and revocations; and 
(6) a study concerning the most appropriate measure to 
be used when reporting recidivism rates (whether rearrest, 
reincarceration, or any other valid, evidence-based measure).
