Abstract: Through the community notification and sex offender registry laws that have been passed, the USA has created a strict legal environment that requires sex offenders to remain in compliance with the registry requirements placed on them by the state once they are released back into their communities. A variety of unintended consequences, such as unemployment and housing issues, have resulted from these laws and have the potential to impact the reentry efforts of released sex offenders.

One hundred and six registered female sex offenders were surveyed to examine their experiences while on the registry, and whether those events influence feelings of defiance toward the registry and criminal justice systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Strauss and Corbin's ground theory was used to explore experiences of female ex-offender's re-entry process to socialization, and the results of the study were discussed.
Abstract: This study was to explore experiences of Female Ex-offender’s re-entry process to socialization. For this, 9 female ex-offenders who receive housing support by the Korea Rehabilitation Agency were interviewed and the Strauss and Corbin’s ground theory is used to approach to the data. In open coding, 88 concepts, 33 subcategories, and 15categories emerged from the data. In axial coding, central phenomenon were ‘indulge in self pity’, ‘being isolated female ex-offender’. Intervention condition was ‘human cooperation system’. Strategies were ‘increase the receptiveness’, ‘establish the foundation’. Consequences were ‘finding the stability in the life’, ‘changing the life direction’. In selective coding, main theme was 'overcome social stigma through changing life-direction and acclimate to society', and four phases were derived from the data. Based upon this results outcome, need of female ex-offender in the process of social transition and their experience were discussed. ■ keyword :∣Female ex-offender∣re-entry∣Grounded Theory∣ 접수일자 : 2017년 01월 16일 수정일자 : 2017년 02월 23일 심사완료일 : 2017년 03월 24일 교신저자 : 이동훈, e-mail : dhlawrence05@gmail.com 여성출소자의 사회재진입 경험에 관한 근거이론 연구 389

TL;DR: Understanding about the prison experience is expanded by exploring the impact of this experience on perceptions of criminal justice legitimacy.
Abstract: There are currently 2 million people incarcerated in the United States. For social workers whose practice includes people who have experienced confinement, building knowledge about the impact of the incarceration on individual lives is critical. Understanding how the prison experience shapes perceptions of self and others can inform the design of case management plans and program interventions that respond to clients’ needs. This article expands understanding about the prison experience by exploring the impact of this experience on perceptions of criminal justice legitimacy.
