• W206358478 abstract "Incarceration and the failures associated with the prison experience-particularly high rates of recidivism-are creating an underclass of men and a cycle of disrupted family relations that represent a worrisome community problem. This article reports on a successful effort to develop a set of services for exoffenders and their children and families that enhance community integration, to build support networks, and to assist community institutions in mobilizing services for this population. Program components, the development of the program through a school of social work, and illustrations of innovative program activities are highlighted. ndividual conduct is shaped by the norms and values that are communicated by one's family and neighborhood. To a great extent, crime occurs when family and neighborhood structures fail to impart norms of appropriate conduct to individuals [Lynch 1995]. Social networks, however, can foster positive changes in values and behaviors. Such networks continuously affirm these positive changes through support, vigilance, and consistency. Whether provided by families, corporations, or therapeutic communities, the impact of social networks on behavior is well-established [Garbarino 1982]. Nowhere is the difficulty in establishing or maintaining socially relevant behavior more apparent than in the criminal justice field, and of all criminal justice efforts, none is more challenging than reducing the high rates of recidivism of released offenders that eventuate in reincarcerations. These high recidivism rates suggest that imprisonment itself does not deter future crime and may sometimes contribute to it [Ekland-Ohlson & Kelly 1993; Hairston 1988]. While typical interventions focus upon the offender, substantial theoretical and empirical reasons argue for an examination of interventions that stress social networks that are inclusive of the offender-such as those that focus on the family and the community as social networks. Systematic work through social networks with families and children as well as communities of offenders has only recently begun to emerge in the criminal justice field as a possible rehabilitation alternative [Adalist-Estrin 1994; Gendreau 1996]. Intervention through natural support systems for offenders is supportable in terms of practical and humanitarian reasons, as well as in terms of the potential for developing positive behaviors in the family system. These networks can help develop a comprehensive social fabric that supports families with multiple needs, especially those with children. Using such supports can lower rates of recidivism, prevent intergenerational patterns of incarceration and, ultimately, lower costs to taxpayers [Hairston 1988]. Interventions in preventing ex-offenders from engaging in criminal activities remain difficult to evaluate [Gendreau 1994], particularly those interventions that offer rehabilitative, community-based approaches outside of the mainstream incarceration approach. Strategies such as community-based programs that provide support to families as well as offenders are an example of an alternative effort. Such alternatives are less costly than traditional approaches and hold the potential of prevention. Moreover, the reality for almost every incarcerated offender is that some of that person's life will be spent outside of prison. No society can afford the costs of maintaining as large a percentage of its population in prison as has been the trend in the United States in the last decade. In this country, 1.7 million adults are incarcerated in prisons and jails, impacting approximately 1.5 million children who are left behind [Gilliard & Beck 1998]. If community-based programs are to become a recognized alternative, research on their development and effectiveness is needed. This article reports on the development and provision of a community-based program, the Family Support Program for Ex-Offenders (FSP), for working with families and ex-offenders. …" @default.
