This paper examined the risk of rearrest for a violent crime among a cohort of 1,949 youthful parolees in California.

Abstract

The study uses a multivariate failure-time model to examine the probability and timing of rearrests for violent crime. The analyses show that the risk of rearrest after incarceration for violence among these serious youthful offenders can be predicted reasonably accurately if several individual factors are included in the model. These factors include criminal history, institutional behavior, personal characteristics, family background, and environmental indicators. 3 tables and 10 references
