摘要

A body of research has examined the consequences associated with being processed through the criminal justice system. The current study built upon this literature by examining whether probation and incarceration were differentially associated with health, economic, and behavioral outcomes. To do so, data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) were analyzed. The results of the analyses revealed that there was no association between whether a person was sentenced to probation or incarcerated and health problems, depression, economic disadvantage, job benefits, criminal involvement, and victimization. We discuss what these findings mean for criminal-justice policy and for discussions regarding the relative efficacy of incarceration and community-based corrections.
