ABSTRACT Recently, interest has piqued on the effects of neighborhood context on parolee recidivism; however, examinations often neglect to model neighborhood institutions. One type of institution that may be important to neighborhood processes, and moreover, parolee reentry, are houses of worship. Based on the literature, we examine the effect of congregation-oriented (i.e., Evangelical Protestant) and community-oriented (i.e., Catholic and Mainline Protestant) churches on parolee reincarceration. Furthermore, reincarceration was disaggregated to test whether effects were more sensitive to technical parole violations (TPV), or varied by time served on parole. Parolee data were obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA-DOC) and Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole (PBPP) for 3,077 parolees released to 209 neighborhoods across Philadelphia. Multilevel analyses indicated that community-oriented (i.e., Mainline Protestant, Catholic) churches were not associated with parolee outcomes. Conversely, Evangelical Protestant churches were associated with increased odds of reincarceration, and strongest on TPV reincarceration and after the initial six months following release.

该死的释放：社区教堂对一般和技术假释违规再监禁的影响

摘要 最近，社区环境对假释累犯的影响引起了人们的兴趣。然而，考试往往忽视对邻里机构的示范。一种可能对邻里进程很重要的机构，而且，假释再入境，是礼拜堂。根据文献，我们研究了面向会众（即福音派新教）和面向社区（即天主教和主流新教）的教会对假释重新监禁的影响。此外，还对再监禁进行了分解，以测试影响是否对技术假释违规 (TPV) 更敏感，或者是否因假释时间而异。假释数据是从宾夕法尼亚州惩教局 (PA-DOC) 和宾夕法尼亚州缓刑和假释委员会 (PBPP) 获得的 3，077 名假释犯被释放到费城的 209 个社区。多层次分析表明，面向社区（即主流新教、天主教）的教会与假释结果无关。相反，福音派新教教会与再监禁的几率增加有关，并且在 TPV 再监禁和释放后的最初六个月后最强。
