Youth and Young Adult Reentry from Incarceration: Developmental and Life Course Perspectives

Sat, Nov 22, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, Salon 13, Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

While it is well established that there is steep decrease in offending across populations as age cohorts progress through their twenties, the underlying social processes are not sufficiently understood. Further, while the challenges of reentry from incarceration have been documented extensively, the challenges specific to youth and young adults have been less studied. This panel presents findings from three separate qualitative interview studies with recently incarcerated youth and young adults that examine their reentry experiences using developmental and life-course perspectives.
