# 34 U.S.C. § 60551 - Offender reentry research
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) National Institute of Justice The National Institute of Justice may conduct research on juvenile and adult offender reentry, including—
|
||
|
||
(1) a study identifying the number and characteristics of minor children who have had a parent incarcerated, and the likelihood of such minor children becoming adversely involved in the criminal justice system some time in their lifetime;
|
||
|
||
(2) a study identifying a mechanism to compare rates of recidivism (including rearrest, violations of parole, probation, post-incarceration supervision, and reincarceration) among States; and
|
||
|
||
(3) a study on the population of offenders released from custody who do not engage in recidivism and the characteristics (housing, employment, treatment, family connection) of that population.
|
||
|
||
(b) Bureau of Justice Statistics The Bureau of Justice Statistics may conduct research on offender reentry, including—
|
||
|
||
(1) an analysis of special populations (including prisoners with mental illness or substance abuse disorders, female offenders, juvenile offenders, offenders with limited English proficiency, and the elderly) that present unique reentry challenges;
|
||
|
||
(2) studies to determine which offenders are returning to prison, jail, or a juvenile facility and which of those returning offenders represent the greatest risk to victims and community safety;
|
||
|
||
(3) annual reports on the demographic characteristics of the population reentering society from prisons, jails, and juvenile facilities;
|
||
|
||
(4) a national recidivism study every 3 years;
|
||
|
||
(5) a study of parole, probation, or post-incarceration supervision violations and revocations; and
|
||
|
||
(6) a study concerning the most appropriate measure to be used when reporting recidivism rates (whether rearrest, reincarceration, or any other valid, evidence-based measure).
