Juvenile Incarceration in an Adult Correctional Facility as a Risk Factor for Adolescent Childrearing? Journal of Adolescence published online (5 October 2022): DOI: 10.1002/jad.12096. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jad.12096 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Incarceration/Jail; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis; Parenthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Methods: The current study examined the age-specific effects of time spent in adult correctional facilities from 13 to 34 years of age on childrearing between 14 and 35 years of age using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 (NLSY97). The NLSY97 is a nationally representative sample of Males (51%) and Females (49%) born in the United States. Respondents of the NLSY97 were interviewed about life events beginning at age 7 and continued to participate in the study as recently as 2021. Results: The results of the lagged growth curve models suggest that the time spent incarcerated between 13 and 17 years of age heightens the risk of childrearing between 14 and 18 years of age, an effect that is not observed during adulthood. |

The Within-individual Lagged Effects of Time Spent Incarcerated on Substance Use: A Nationally Representative Longitudinal Study from the United States Journal of Substance Use published online (9 December 2021): DOI: 10.1080/14659891.2021.2006336. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14659891.2021.2006336 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Incarceration/Jail; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Background: The effects of incarceration on future substance use is well documented in the extant literature. Nevertheless, scholars have yet to examine the within-individual correspondence between the change in months incarcerated over time and the change in substance use over time. Aim: Considering this gap in the literature, the purpose of the current study is to evaluate whether within-individual changes in months incarcerated is associated with subsequent within-individual changes in substance use. Method: The current study examines the influence of the change in the number months incarcerated (2004-2009) on alcohol, cigarette, marijuana, and hard drug use (2005-2010) using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The within-individual effects were estimated using four lagged latent growth models. Result: The results demonstrated that within-individual change in the months spent incarcerated influenced the change in the likelihood of substance use over time. Within-individual increases in the number of months an individual spent incarcerated over time (2004-2009) was associated with within-individual decreases in the frequency of cigarette and marijuana use, but within-individual increases in the likelihood of hard drug use from 2005 to 2010. |

Exacerbating Inequality Over the Life-Course: Examining Race Differences in the Reciprocal Effects Between Incarceration and Income Social Forces published online (12 September 2023). Also: https://doi.org/10.1093/sf/soad113 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Oxford University Press Keyword(s): Black Studies; Criminal Justice System; Earnings; Employment; Incarceration/Jail; Income; Racial Equality/Inequality Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Relative to Whites, Blacks face lower odds of gaining employment with notable wages while also facing longer terms of incarceration when sent to jail or prison for criminal offenses. Although a variety of factors contribute to these patterns, the time a Black individual spends incarcerated could decrease future earnings, whereas lower earnings could increase the time spent incarcerated. Nevertheless, prior research has yet to consider—or evaluate—the reciprocal association between income and incarceration, limiting our ability to discern how involvement in the criminal justice system contributes to the racial gap in income between Black and Whites. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, the current study evaluated the influence of time spent incarcerated and income on future time spent incarcerated and income of Blacks and Whites. A lagged Latent Curve Model with Structured Residuals was estimated to examine the between- and within-individual reciprocal effects of months incarcerated and income. The findings suggested that a 1 month increase in time spent incarcerated for Blacks resulted in a 300–600 dollar decrease in income during the subsequent measurement period, an effect that was not observed for Whites. It appears that time spent incarcerated reduces future earnings for justice-involved Blacks. Overall, findings suggest that the criminal justice system contributes to the income gap that exists more generally between Blacks and Whites in the United States. |

The Cycle of Reentry and Reincarceration: Examining the Influence on Employment over a Period of 18 Years Journal of Criminal Justice 74 (May-June 2021): 101812. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047235221000325 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Employment; Incarceration/Jail Methods: Using the NLSY97 birth cohort, the current study evaluated the influence of time spent incarcerated (an approximation of the reentry-reincarceration cycle) on future employment outcomes over an 18-year period. Specifically, two cross-lagged panel models were estimated to examine the between-individual effects of the number of months incarcerated on employment and the number of weeks employed, while two lagged latent growth models were estimated to examine the within-individual effects. Results: In addition to suggesting that the reentry-reincarceration cycle exists, the findings illustrated that the reentry-reincarceration cycle influences between-individual differences on employment outcomes and within-individual changes in employment outcomes over time. |

Parental Incarceration and Within-Individual Changes in Criminal Justice Involvement Across Developmental Stages Journal of Developmental and Life-Course Criminology 9,4 (December 2023): 590-616. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40865-023-00237-y Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Criminal Justice System; Incarcerated/Jailed Individuals; Incarceration/Jail; Incarceration/Jail, Parental; Life Course; Life Course Periods; Piecewise Latent Growth Model Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The current study examines the association between parental incarceration and the change in the number of arrests and number of months incarcerated across three life-course periods. Examining individuals’ involvement in the criminal justice system throughout the life-course is a well-documented area of research in criminology. However, limited research has examined how factors such as parental incarceration shape criminal justice involvement across different key life-course stages. To conduct the current study, we employed the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 (NLSY97) and used conditional piecewise latent growth models. The NLYS97 is a nationally representative dataset of individuals born in the United States between 1980 and 1984. We evaluated whether parental incarceration (before 16)—both paternal and maternal—influences within-individual changes in the number of arrests and months incarcerated between 17 and 25 years (late-adolescence), 26 and 30 years (early-adulthood), and 31 and 35 years (adulthood). The results show that parental incarceration differentially influences the change in the number of arrests and number of months incarcerated across the three life-course periods. Moreover, the magnitude and direction differ by the parent incarcerated and the race of the participant. The findings suggest that factors associated with parental incarceration might be associated with differential effects on criminal justice involvement across key life-course periods. To reduce the likelihood of CJS involvement as adolescents age into adulthood, interventions should be implemented to protect children from the social, economic, and health-related harms of having a parent go to prison. |
