Abstract

Mental illness (MI) is prevalent among people who are incarcerated and under community supervision. Despite this, the nature of the relationship between MI and recidivism is yet to be fully understood. Using an administrative dataset from the state of Georgia (n = 24,046), this study examined the extent to which individuals with MI on parole have a greater likelihood of rearrest – over a three-year period – than individuals without MI. Across the sample, increased assessed risk (OR = 1.14, 95 % CI [1.12–1.16]) and increased positive drug tests (OR = 1.64, 95 % CI [1.42–1.91]) predicted a greater likelihood of rearrest. Increased time employed reduced the likelihood of rearrest (OR = 0.39, 95 % CI [0.35–0.44]). MI was associated with increased odds of being rearrested (OR = 1.17, 95 % CI [1.07–1.27]). MI was also found to moderate the relationships between both substance use and employment with being rearrested.

研究精神病与假释人员累犯之间的联系

精神病（MI）在被监禁和接受社区监管的人群中十分普遍。尽管如此，人们对精神疾病与累犯之间关系的性质仍未充分了解。本研究利用佐治亚州的行政数据集（n = 24,046），研究了假释期间患有精神分裂症的人比没有精神分裂症的人在三年内再次被逮捕的可能性有多大。在所有样本中，评估风险的增加（OR = 1.14，95 % CI [1.12-1.16]）和毒品检测阳性率的增加（OR = 1.64，95 % CI [1.42-1.91]）预示着再次被捕的可能性更大。就业时间的增加会降低再次被捕的可能性（OR = 0.39，95 % CI [0.35-0.44]）。MI 与再次被捕的几率增加有关（OR = 1.17，95 % CI [1.07-1.27]）。研究还发现，吸毒和就业与再次被捕之间的关系中，不良嗜好也有缓和作用。

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.
