The Labor Market and Parole Success

Author

Abstract

The long debate over structural unemployment and the enactment of manpower legislation have stimulated students of the labor market to renew their interest in problems of disadvantaged workers. Among the disadvantaged whose problems have received little professional attention from economists are men recently released from prison. In this paper Mr. Evans seeks to partially redress this deficiency by discussing the influence of success in the labor market on subsequent criminal activity of parolees. In the first section he considers the theoretical context for his analysis, and in the second he presents some results of a survey of two samples of men released from Massachusetts correctional institutions in 1959. In the third section he suggests some public policy implications of his conclusion that success in the labor market is an important factor in parole success.
