Abstract

Scholarship highlights the importance of visitation in improving the lives of prisoners across numerous domains including mental health, adjustment to confinement, and postrelease success. Although research on adult inmates has examined factors that predict visitation, no such study exists for juvenile offenders. Moreover, because this existing research has relied largely on administrative data, no study has examined how family and social contexts affect visitation. Using data collected on 2,345 youth who completed residential placement in Florida, the current study examined how qualities and histories of offenders and their families affect the likelihood, consistency, and sequencing of visits for juvenile offenders. The results suggest that youth’s demographics and offending histories, as well as their family backgrounds and relationships, affect visitation. Directions for future research and implications for policy and practice are discussed.

全家人：对未成年犯探视预测因素的研究

奖学金强调了探视在改善囚犯生活方面的重要性，包括心理健康、对监禁的适应和释放后的成功。虽然对成年囚犯的研究已经检查了预测探视的因素，但对少年犯的研究还没有。此外，由于现有的研究主要依赖于行政数据，没有研究调查家庭和社会背景如何影响探视。目前的研究收集了2345名在佛罗里达州完成住宿安置的青少年的数据，研究了罪犯及其家庭的品质和历史如何影响青少年罪犯访问的可能性、一致性和顺序。研究结果表明，青少年的人口特征、犯罪史以及他们的家庭背景和人际关系都会影响探视。讨论了未来研究的方向及其对政策和实践的影响。
