Jukka Savolainen

The literature on criminal careers underscores the role of adult social bonds as an important source of desistance. Two institutional contexts appear particularly critical in this regard: work and family. American research on prisoner re-entry suggests that incarceration may entail detrimental consequences for marital and employment outcomes. The purpose of this study is to extend similar questions to a national context characterized by a supportive welfare state and a comparatively lenient sentencing culture. Drawing on data from Finland, I examine individual-level effects of sentencing outcomes on family attainment, divorce, unemployment, and recidivism.
