| 18: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2023 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In 2022, over 16,000 persons exited prison in Illinois (Illinois Department of Corrections, n.d.-b). Employment is a major factor in successful community reintegration after prison release. Not only is it important to formerly incarcerated individuals, families, and their communities it is also associated with lower rates of recidivism (Berger-Gross, 2022; Flatt and Jacobs, 2018; Nally, et al., 2014; Yang, 2017). However, formerly incarcerated persons face many barriers to employment, such as stigma by employers; restrictions or prohibition to some jobs because of criminal records; lack of or gaps in work experience; and deficits in human capital, such as inadequate education, training, or vocational skills (Pogrebin et al., 2014). These barriers keep the formerly incarcerated from being competitive in the labor market. Even years after release, these individuals consistently have low rates of employment (Looney and Turner, 2018). The jobs that are available are often low skill, seasonal, temporary, and part-time. They provide low wages and limited, or no, benefits. While most individuals struggle to obtain employment post release, certain groups are at a greater disadvantage because of race and gender (Pew Charitable Trusts, 2010; Western and Sirois, 2019). Both race and gender affect earnings and employment(Carson, et al., 2021; Couloute and Kopf, 2018). Prison and community reentry programs can help increase individuals probability of post-release employment. However, such programs are not sufficiently available to serve all who need them. | | | | Date Created: | 09-01-2023 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000107644 Original UID: 214181 FIRST WORD: Employment | |
| 19: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This summary deals with the development of the Gang Violence Reduction Project (GVRP), with Project operations, and with Project outcomes at the individual-youth, gang, police district, and community resident and organization levels. Information for our analysis comes from monthly activity reports to the Chicago Police Department, interim program evaluations, gang member surveys and self-reports, Project worker summary reports, field observations, focus group findings, police arrest and incident data, community resident and organization surveys, administrative letters and memos, and newspaper reports. What distinguished the Project from prior (and to some extent subsequent) gang-control, intervention, and community-involvement programs, was its strong grass-roots orientation, involving former gang leaders or influentials as outreach youth workers, and their collaboration with police, probation, and a neighborhood organization to penetrate chronic, violent youth gangs, and to modify their behavior. | | | | Date Created: | 04 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003704 Original UID: 3542 FIRST WORD: Evaluation | |
| 20: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This publications is part of the "Research and program evaluation in Illinois: Studies on drug abuse and violent crime" series. In 1998, Justice Research Associates began a preliminary assessment of the Kankakee Metropolitan Enforcement Group to determine if there was substance for a full evaluation. This, the report of the evaluation, summarizes nearly two years of work evaluating the the Kankakee Metropolitan Enforcement Group unit. The evaluation included more than 100 observations of the unit, and nearly fifty interviews with police, sheriffs, community residents, key leaders, and representatives of the state's attorney's office. Justice Research Associates also examined all the Kankakee Metropolitan Enforcement Group overt unit arrest records, state's attorney records, and the chronic nuisance abatement enforcement records. | | | | Date Created: | 12 2000 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003865 Original UID: 3759 FIRST WORD: Evaluation | |
