Nearly half of the individuals who release from state prisons each year are under the age of 35; 89% are men. These young men are highly likely to be re-incarcerated. Research suggests untreated trauma symptoms contribute to high rates of incarceration and re-incarceration. As trauma symptomatology can increase during reentry, implementing trauma treatment during this time is critical. The current study fills an important gap by implementing an evidence-driven trauma intervention with young, incarcerated men and extending treatment post-release in the community.
This study evaluates the impact of the Resiliency in Stressful Experiences (RISE) program for 18-35-year-old incarcerated males releasing to participating counties. RISE is a multi-phased comprehensive trauma-based reentry program designed according to the transitional nature of reentry. The researchers will assess the influence of RISE on post-release housing and employment stability and recidivism and identify key mechanisms of change. Participants (n = 400) are randomly assigned 1:1 to RISE or a Treatment as Usual control group.
This study will provide critical information about how trauma-informed reentry programming impacts traditional reentry outcomes (e.g., recidivism, housing, employment) and identify key mechanisms of action (e.g., reduced impulsivity and aggression). Coping with trauma symptomatology is a largely untapped area of scientific inquiry for criminal justice-involved populations, despite the significant role trauma plays in individuals' lives. Results advance identification of critical components of trauma-informed reentry interventions for moderate- to high-risk young men. This study provides critical data to support policymakers and corrections professionals eager for innovative approaches to improve post-release outcomes.
每年从州监狱获释的人数中，近一半的人年龄在 35 岁以下；其中 89%是男性。这些年轻人很有可能再次入狱。研究表明，未治疗的创伤症状是导致高监禁率和再监禁率的原因之一。由于创伤症状在重新融入社会期间可能会加重，因此在此期间实施创伤治疗至关重要。本研究通过为即将被释放到参与县的年轻监禁男性实施循证创伤干预，并在社区中延长治疗时间，填补了这一重要空白。
本研究评估了 Resiliency in Stressful Experiences（RISE）计划对 18-35 岁即将被释放到参与县的监禁男性的影响。RISE 是一个多阶段的综合创伤型再入境计划，是根据再入境的过渡性质设计的。研究人员将评估 RISE 对释放后住房和就业稳定性以及累犯的影响，并确定关键的变化机制。参与者（n=400）被随机分配 1:1 接受 RISE 或常规治疗对照组。
本研究将提供关于创伤知情的再入境计划如何影响传统再入境结果（例如累犯、住房、就业）的关键信息，并确定关键的作用机制（例如，减少冲动和攻击性）。应对创伤症状是犯罪司法涉案人群科学研究中一个很大程度上未被开发的领域，尽管创伤在个人生活中起着重要作用。研究结果为中高危年轻男性的创伤知情再入境干预措施确定了关键组成部分。本研究提供了关键数据，为渴望创新方法以改善释放后结果的政策制定者和惩教专业人员提供了支持。
