TLDR
In this article, the authors used a natural experiment, an oil boom in North Dakota, to examine changes in offender reentry and recidivism outcomes, finding that offenders released from prison during the height of the oil boom were more likely to recidivate than offenders released prior to the peak of the boom.Abstract:
The current study utilized a natural experiment, an oil boom in North Dakota, to examine changes in offender reentry and recidivism outcomes. The quantitative study compared a sample of male offenders released from prisons within one state prior to the oil boom to a sample of male offenders released during the highest peak of the boom. Comparisons were made on variables known in the literature to be predictive of recidivism during the reentry process; these include risk, education, employment, housing, substance abuse, and treatment. Findings show the oil boom had a negative impact on offender reentry. Offenders released from prison during the height of the oil boom were more likely to recidivate than offenders released prior to the oil boom.read more
