Description
Summary:The advent of mass incarceration has reinvigorated calls for a deeper understanding of how the "quality of relationships" is shaped by imprisonment (Travis J, Western B, Redburn S (eds), The growth of incarceration in the United States: exploring causes and consequences, National Academies Press, Washington DC, 2014). We address this issue by describing how imprisonment relates to four dimensions of tie strength in a sample of South Bronx residents.
Item Description:Correction to: Journal of Quantitative Criminology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10940-018-9391-z.The corrected text should read as: A similar pattern may be observed for multiplexity, although likely related to a different underlying mechanism—scores for former prisoners may be higher as this status is likely to increase the growing scope of their social needs while simultaneously narrowing the pool from which these demands may be met (Harding et al. 2014)—a process akin to the ‘edging' of instrumental associations described by Goffman (2014). The inverse pattern may be observed in the case of indirect exposure to incarceration, as egos reallocate exchanges across more explicit contacts./lt. Vol. 35.2019, No. 2, Seite 433
