This project explored the influence education, family involvement and
socioeconomic status has on crime and recidivism rates. Successful parolees were
interviewed and asked questions regarding their experiences with education, family
involvement, socioeconomic status and incarceration. The outcome of these interview
heeded seven themes, which were 1) Felt no Connection with School, 2) Feeling of not
being a part of their family 3) Growing-up in households that did not express emotions or
communicate, 4) Traumatic experiences during adolescent or early teen years, 5) Jail as a
break from the streets 6) Vocational classes as crime deterrent while incarcerated, and 7)
Terminating criminal behavior because of "being tired." |
