Recenzje

Kirk offers a mixed-methodology design to investigate the reincarceration rates of ex-prisoners who returned to live in New Orleans after their release after Hurricane Katrina, compared to those who left to live in other places. The quantitative analysis is triangulated with qualitative interviews involving mostly African American ex-inmates to explain why some desisted and others persisted in experiencing reincarceration.
