This study is a secondary analysis of data from ICPSR Study Number 27101, Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) Multi-site Impact Evaluation, 2004-2011 [United States]- specifically the adult male dataset -to examine the associations among child support obligations, employment and reentry outcomes. The study addressed the following research questions: <ol> <li> Are the demographic, criminal justice and employment-related characteristics of incarcerated men with child support orders significantly different in any important way from incarcerated males without child support orders?</li> <li> Did SVORI clients receive more support and services related to child support orders and modification of debt after release from prison compared to non-SVORI participants?</li> <li> Does having legal child support obligations decrease the likelihood of employment in later waves, net of key demographic and criminal justice history factors? </li> <li>How does employment influence the relationship between child support debt and recidivism? and </li> <li> Is family instrumental support a significant predictor of reduced recidivism or increased employment in models assessing the relationship between child support obligations, employment and recidivism? </li> </ol> The study includes one document (Syntax_ChildSupport_Reentry_forICPSR_2012-IJ-CX-0012.docx) which contains SPSS and Stata syntax used to create research variables.
