Sex Offender Residence Restrictions: Unintended Consequences and Community Reentry (2007, background): “Sex offenders who maintained social bonds to communities through stable employment and family relationships had lower recidivism rates than those without jobs or significant others ( Kruttschnitt, Uggen, & Shelton, 2000 ).”
Work as a Turning Point for Criminal Offenders: Critical Issues in Crime Reduction for Corrections (2001, background): “Do ties to work and family alter the effectiveness of correctional interventions? Sherman and Smith (1992) find that arrest has a greater deterrent effect among employed persons and Kruttschnitt et al. (2000) find that sex offender treatment appears to work better among those with a history of job s”
Not in My Neighborhood (2008, background): “Future research should be attentive to these negative consequences and explore their implications for sex-offender recidivism, a research topic that has, as of yet, been explored by very few in this field (for exceptions, see Hepburn & Griffin, 2004; Kruttschnitt et al., 2000; Meloy, 2005).”
Does Marriage Reduce Crime? (2015, background): “Kruttschnitt, Uggen, and Shelton (2000) studied a sample of sex offenders placed on probation in Minnesota in 1992 (N p 556).”
Collateral Damage: Family Members of Registered Sex Offenders (2009, background): “Since unstable employment and housing are associated with increased sexual and criminal recidivism (Kruttschnitt et al. 2000; Laub and Sampson 2001; Schulenberg 2007; Willis and Grace 2008), laws which disrupt stability are unlikely to facilitate public protection.”
Social Policies Designed to Prevent Sexual Violence (2007, background): “In numerous studies, researchers have concluded that social support and stability, including steady employment, are essential factors that decrease the risk of criminal recidivism (Hanson & Morton-Bourgon, 2005; Kruttschnitt et al., 2000; Petersilia, 2003; Uggen, 2002).”
Beyond sexual recidivism : a review of the sexual criminal career parameters of adult sex offenders (2013, unknown): “Congruent with the findings of Kruttschnitt et al. (2000), their findings provided further evidence in the face of the argument that sex offenders respond to nothing but long-term imprisonment and intensive community supervision.”
societal reaction to sex offenders: a review of the origins and results of the myths surrounding their crimes and treatment amenability (2004, background): “Perusal of well-regarded studies ( Hanson and Harris 1998 ; Kruttschnitt, Uggen and Shelton 2000 ; Rice, Quinsey, and Harris 1991 ) adds a few other predictors: being unemployed is especially important for rapists; substances abuse problems have ubiquitous effects as do lack of remorse and high le”

Collateral consequences of sex offender residence restrictions (2008, background): “…lack of social support, and unemployment are associated with higher recidivism rates for criminal offenders in general and sex offenders specifically (Colorado Department of Public Safety, 2004; Hanson & Harris, 1998; Kruttschnitt et al., 2000; Uggen, 2002; Uggen, Manza, & Behrens, 2004).”
