Abstract

Purpose

The current study was designed to evaluate the effects of time spent in pretrial detention on the number of days from release until experiencing an arrest for a new offense and a new violent offense.

Methods

Using a sample of 31,598 individuals from three counties in the United States, the evaluation estimated the effects of spending 2–3 days, 3–7 days, and >7 days in pretrial detention – compared to admitted to jail and released on the same or next day (0 to 1 day– on the number of days from release until a new criminal arrest and new violent criminal arrest. The primary models were replicated using inverse probability weighting and propensity score matching.

Results

The results of the study suggest that spending 2–3 days, 3–7 days, and >7 days in pretrial detention was associated with an increased probability of a new criminal arrest and new violent criminal arrest earlier when compared to spending 0 to 1 day in pretrial detention.

Conclusions

This research is consistent with the prior literature, suggesting that spending more time in pretrial detention might be criminogenic and contribute to an increased rate of churn through the criminal legal system.

审前拘留是否会影响到重新介入刑事法律系统的时间？

目的本研究旨在评估审前拘留时间对从获释到因新犯罪和新暴力犯罪被捕的天数的影响。方法通过对美国三个郡 31,598 人的抽样调查，评估估计了审前拘留 2-3 天、3-7 天和 7 天（与入狱后当天或次日释放（0-1 天）相比）对从获释到因新犯罪和新暴力犯罪被捕的天数的影响。研究结果表明，与在审前拘留中度过 0 到 1 天相比，在审前拘留中度过 2 到 3 天、3 到 7 天和 7 天与较早发生新的刑事逮捕和新的暴力刑事逮捕的概率增加有关。结论这项研究与之前的文献一致，表明在审前拘留中度过更多时间可能会导致犯罪，并导致刑事法律系统的流失率增加。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
