| Sumario: | Previous work has theorized that the removal of residents due to incarceration, known as coercive mobility, contributes to disruptions in neighboring relationships and therefore, impedes the community’s ability to engage in informal social control and prevent crime. However, research to date has yet to examine how women residents, who largely make up the population of residents who ‘remain behind,’ are affected by the incarceration of concentrated segments of male residents, who make up the majority of the prison population. Synthesizing prior research on coercive mobility, social capital, and the collateral consequences of incarceration, the present theoretical contribution incorporates effects to women’s forms of capital, including women’s social (i.e., resources inherent in neighboring relationships), physical (e.g., income), and human capital (e.g., education), as a mechanism to explain how concentrated incarceration contributes to deleterious consequences to informal social control. The author recommends that scholars examine the potentially gendered consequences of incarceration in future research. |
