摘要

与司法系统参与相关的法定财务义务(LFOs)日益成为政策制定者和研究人员的关注焦点,他们试图了解不平等的根源以及促进成功重返社会的因素。这些讨论往往基于这样一种假设,即法律经济义务与较高的累犯率相关联,甚至可能导致较高的累犯率。然而,这一领域的实证研究并没有跟上这些说法日益增强的力度。本研究报告的发现可能会提供一个新的视角,并有助于基于证据的辩论。本研究使用了东海岸某州 3 年内所有从监禁监管中释放人员(N = 21,301 人)的多源行政数据,以研究刑事司法债务与再犯罪之间的复杂关系。我们详细介绍了估算这些债务对各种形式累犯影响的生存分析结果。总体而言,我们发现,尽管个案层面的 LFO 评估与未来犯罪之间的关系未达到统计显著性,但与整个生命过程中金钱制裁的累积效应之间的关系却达到了统计显著性。此外,LFO 债务对某些种族群体的影响更大,这支持了对结构性不利因素的理论和实践探索。研究还考虑了对政策和未来研究的影响。

Reframing the debate on legal financial obligations and crime: How accruing monetary sanctions impacts recidivism

Reframing the debate on legal financial obligations and crime: How accruing monetary sanctions impacts recidivism

Legal financial obligations (LFOs) associated with justice system involvement are increasingly a focus for policymakers and researchers seeking to understand sources of inequality and the factors that promote successful reentry. These conversations often rely on an assumption that LFOs are associated with or may even drive higher rates of recidivism. The empirical research in this area, however, has not kept up with the growing strength of these claims. This study reports findings that may offer a new perspective and contribute to an evidence-based debate. Multisourced administrative data on all individuals released from carceral supervision in an East Coast state (N = 21,301) over 3 years are used to examine the complex relationship between criminal justice debt and reoffending. We detail the results of survival analyses estimating the impact of these debts on various forms of recidivism. Broadly, we find that even though the relationship between case-level LFO assessments and future offending did not reach statistical significance, the association with the cumulative effect of monetary sanctions over the life course did. Furthermore, the impact of LFO debt is greater for certain racial groups, supporting theoretical and practical inquiries into factors informing structural disadvantage. Implications for policy and future research are considered.
