Research Brief: "Homelessness In A National Sample Of Incarcerated Veterans In State And Federal Prisons", Institute For Veterans And Military Families At Syracuse University Aug 2014

Research Brief: "Homelessness In A National Sample Of Incarcerated Veterans In State And Federal Prisons", Institute For Veterans And Military Families At Syracuse University

Institute for Veterans and Military Families

The purpose of this study was to determine relationships between homelessness and incarceration among veterans. What the study found was a correlation between homelessness and incarceration, with veterans who are chronically homeless/incarcerated experiencing serious health problems or drug/alcohol abuse/dependence. Ultimately the study found that homeless incarcerated veterans were mostly incarcerated for non-violent crimes. The recommendations for future research include standardizing definitions of homelessness and other elements for appropriate comparison of data. Likewise, studies should look to include greater assessments of external, uncontrolled factors.

The Debt Penalty: Exposing The Financial Barriers To Offender Reintegration, Douglas N. Evans Aug 2014

The Debt Penalty: Exposing The Financial Barriers To Offender Reintegration, Douglas N. Evans

Publications and Research

Financial debt associated with legal system involvement is a pressing issue that affects the criminal justice system, offenders, and taxpayers. Mere contact with the criminal justice system often results in fees and fines that increase with progression through the system. Criminal justice fines and fees punish offenders and are designed to generate revenue for legal systems operating on limited budgets. However, fines and fees often fail to accomplish this second goal because many offenders are too poor to pay them. If they do not pay their financial obligations, they may be subject to late fees and interest requirements, all of …

Men, Women And Children For Sale: The Dichotomy Of Human Trafficking In The United States And Abroad, Elizabeth Kolbe Aug 2014

Men, Women And Children For Sale: The Dichotomy Of Human Trafficking In The United States And Abroad, Elizabeth Kolbe

Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato

Living in Thailand in 2005 opened my eyes to the real plight of exploited peoples around the world. I was able to experience first-hand the economic and social issues facing potential victims of human trafficking. According to Anti-Slavery International, there are an estimated 200 million people being held in slavery worldwide. Approximately 800,000 people per year are being trafficked across international borders and forced into slavery. Like most Americans, I believed this is a horrible problem facing only people of developing countries. Last year I heard Chong Kim describe her traumatizing experience of being trafficked within the United States. Over …
