Provides a concise, accessible, and applied how-to guide for people interested in conducting community-engaged research. Defines specific community-engaged research approaches, and then presents a variety of strategies, resources, and tips throughout the book in the context of social justice and ethics.

Outlines an effort to enhance research literacy and build capacity for community-engaged research among incarcerated persons and staff in a Midwest prison.

Examines how surveillance cameras function within a medium-security prison, focusing on their role in investigations from both staff and incarcerated residents’ perspectives. Finds that while cameras are seen as useful for promoting accountability, their benefits are undermined by issues such as selective enforcement against residents and the perceived misuse of footage for disciplining staff.

Extends the literature on victim cooperation by examining the effect of incident-level variables and neighborhood characteristics on victim cooperation in nonfatal shooting incidents. Finds the willingness to cooperate among Whites is contingent on injury severity while non-White victims do not become markedly more cooperative when confronted with serious injury.

Uses data from St. Louis to examine the effects of resident gang membership on rates of gun assault. Finds communities with the highest number of gang members also have the highest rates of gun assault.

Finds although the challenges offenders face when returning home from prison have been well documented, much remains to be learned about the gendered patterns of reentry. Finds, consistent with past research, men are more likely to fail overall, but women are more likely to be recommitted to prison for a technical violation.

Evaluates the efficacy of sex offender residence restrictions in Michigan and Missouri using a quasi‐experimental design with propensity score matching. Finds, in the outcome analysis, little evidence that residence restrictions changed the prevalence of recidivism substantially for sex offenders in the postrelease period.

Provides a critical assessment of the Missouri Model of juvenile corrections. Outlines proposals for future research and the need for additional data and analysis.

Tests hypotheses about the link between familial ties, post‐release employment, and recidivism. Suggests that good quality social ties may be particularly important for men with histories of frequent unemployment.
