RT Article T1 Persons With Severe Mental Illnesses and Sex Offenses: Recidivism After Prison Release JF International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology VO 63 IS 12 SP 2157 OP 2170 A1 Cuddeback, Gary S. A1 Grady, Melissa A1 Blank Wilson, Amy LA English YR 2019 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1675705151 AB Individuals who have committed sex offenses (ISOs) with severe mental illnesses are a complex population to serve and more research is needed to guide practice and policy, especially around community supervision, enrollment in Medicaid, housing, employment, criminal justice contacts, and reincarceration after prison reentry. To further the literature in this area, we used logistic regression to model recidivism and admissions to violator or prison facilities among 127 ISOs with severe mental illnesses and 2,935 people with severe mental illnesses who were incarcerated in prison for other crimes. Compared to prison releasees with severe mental illnesses who committed crimes other than sex offenses, prison releasees with severe mental illnesses who committed sex offenses were admitted to violator facilities at higher rates, when controlling for substance use, Medicaid enrollment, homelessness, and unemployment. Implications for practice, policy and research are discussed.
