Incarceration and Childbearing in a Cohort of Young Adults in the United States Presented: New York NY, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Births, Repeat / Spacing; Childbearing; Incarceration/Jail; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohort, I examine the relationship between incarceration and the timing of childbearing for both men and women. I find that men with a history of incarceration start childbearing earlier than men who have never been incarcerated; however, men who have been incarcerated delay or space-out higher-order births. The amount of time spent incarcerated was not associated with childbearing for men. I found little evidence of an association between childbearing and women’s incarceration. Early childbearing in the incarcerated population could lead to the expansion and persistence of child poverty, as well as exacerbate the disadvantages faced by children born to young parents relative to children born to other young parents. |

Incarceration and Family Transitions in Young Adulthood Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Childbearing; Childbearing, Adolescent; Cohabitation; Family Process Measures; Incarceration/Jail; Marital Dissolution; Marriage Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. I make three contributions to family demographic research on the effects of incarceration on family processes. First, I revisit the question of the influence of incarceration on family formation and family stability using data that are better suited to the measurement of these events than the data used in previous research. Using life history calendar data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (1997-2009), a longitudinal study of 8,984 men and women in the United States, I establish the timing of incarcerations relative to the following family transitions: entry into cohabiting and marital unions and exit from cohabiting and marital unions. Second, I conduct the first prospective study of the consequences of incarceration for the timing of childbearing among adolescents and young adults. Third, I take into account the timing, frequency, and durations of incarcerations to better understand the relationship between incarceration and family processes. |

Incarceration History and Relationship Transitions in Young Adulthood Presented: Las Vegas NV, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2011 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Cohabitation; Divorce; Incarceration/Jail; Marital Instability; Marriage; Relationship Conflict Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a sample of married and cohabiting unions from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort, I estimate the relationship between incarceration history and romantic relationship transitions; specifically, the transition out of cohabiting relationships through either marriage or dissolution, and the transition out of marriage through divorce or legal separation. I utilized lifetime event histories of marital and cohabiting unions, as well as lifetime histories of incarcerations to conduct dynamic analyses of these relationships. I consider the association between union transitions and multiple dimensions of involvement with the corrections system: incarceration during the span of a union (proximal relationship consequences), average time spent incarcerated prior to the union (severity of criminal behavior), and number of incarcerations prior to the union (instability through frequent contact with corrections). Preliminary findings suggest that both severity and frequency of incarceration prior to marriage are associated with divorce, and cohabiting unions are less likely to transition to marriage when an incarceration occurs during the union. |
