This book was released on 2018 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon release from incarceration or other forms of supervision, many former offenders struggle with the transition to lead productive and crime-free lifestyles. Many of their struggles are endured in housing, employment and education markets. Most notably, education has been linked to decrease in recidivism, as well an increase in the chances of employment. The higher the level of education, particularly the attainment of post-secondary education, the more likely former offenders are to succeed in obtaining stable housing and employment. In addition, former offenders are significantly more likely to refrain from criminal activity when they obtain some form of post-secondary education. However, post-secondary education remains the least attained level of education among former offenders, as well as the least commonly offered in correctional institutions. This leaves the majority of offenders to pursue post-secondary education upon release from correctional supervision. This exploratory study examined admissions applications through The Common Application, from post-secondary institutions across the United States to see which types of institutions are inquiring about criminal history. Previous research has been quite scarce, with only three national surveys having measured institutional admissions practices. This study combines all of the demographic variables of previous studies with geographic location and enrollment size to expand literature on criminal history inquiry in college and university admissions. Also, the type of criminal history inquiry, such as felony or misdemeanor conviction, is detailed in this study. Results show that criminal history inquiry is at a low with The Common Application, but notes large, public PSEIs in the South and Midwest are likely to inquire about criminal history. Specifically, inquiry mainly included felony and sexually-related convictions. Implications of the findings for offender reentry education are discussed.

This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After conducting a comprehensive literature search, the authors undertook a meta-analysis to examine the association between correctional education and reductions in recidivism, improvements in employment after release from prison, and other outcomes. The study finds that receiving correctional education while incarcerated reduces inmates' risk of recidivating and may improve their odds of obtaining employment after release from prison.
Download or read book Oppression Perpetrated by the Most Rejective U S Postsecondary Institutions written by Gary P. Duran and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racially and ethnically minoritized students encounter constricted access when applying to the most rejective postsecondary institutions in the United States. Mechanisms that constrict access, reflect systemic oppression, and perpetuate institutionalized oppression are standardized test scores. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person testing centers closed in 2020. Subsequently, many postsecondary institutions that previously required test scores with admission applications moved away from test-required admissions policies. This study set out to determine which U.S. postsecondary institutions with an admit rate 15% or less implemented a test-optional admissions policy during the pandemic. Further, the study set out to determine the impacts of test-optional admissions policies on the enrollment of some racially and ethnically minoritized students at the most rejective U.S. postsecondary institutions. The study employed an exploratory descriptive and comparative statistical analysis using the integrated postsecondary education data system (IPEDS) from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Of the 28 institutions considered to be the most rejective, 25 implemented a test-optional admissions policy for applicants aspiring to gain admission to the fall 2021 semester. One year prior, 10 institutions had implemented a test-optional admissions policy. Test-optional admissions policies may have increased access for racially and ethnically minoritized students only 1.6% of the time. Therefore, test-optional policies do not, at least in the context of this study, substantially expand access for racially and ethnically minoritized students. Further research should include a qualitative study of enrollment leaders at the most rejective institutions and students' thoughts on test score admissions policies.
