As the United States enters a decarceration era, the factors predicting reentry success have received a rapidly growing body of research attention. Numerous studies expand beyond individual-level attributes to assess the contextual effect of neighborhoods to which released prisoners return. However, past studies predominantly used neighborhood structural/economic characteristics as the proxies of neighborhood context, leaving the roles of community cohesion and disorder understudied in the context of reentry. Using longitudinal data, this study examines the influence of neighborhood cohesion and disorder on reentry outcomes, represented by released prisoners’ determination to desist and social isolation. The results of linear regression analyses show that net of the effects of individual-level risk factors, released prisoners’ perception of neighborhood disorder exhibit profound influence on reentry outcomes. Implications for reentry programming and interventions are presented.

Abstract In data transmission networks, the availability of data transmission is equivalent to the existence of the fractional factor of the corresponding graph which is generated by the network. Research on the existence of fractional factors under specific network structures can help scientists design and construct networks with high data transmission rates. A graph G is named as an all fractional (g, f, n′, m)-critical deleted graph if the remaining subgraph keeps being an all fractional (g, f, m)-critical graph, despite experiencing the removal of arbitrary n′ vertices of G. In this paper, we study the relationship between neighborhood conditions and a graph to be all fractional (g, f, n′, m)-critical deleted. Two sufficient neighborhood conditions are determined, and furthermore we show that the conditions stated in the main results are sharp.

Let E be a topological vector space of scalar sequences, with topologyτ;(E,τ)satisfies the closed neighborhood condition iff there is a basis of neighborhoods at the origin, forτ, consisting of sets whlch are closed with respect to the topologyπof coordinate-wise convergence on E;(E,τ)satisfies the filter condition iff every filter, Cauchy with respect toτ, convergent with respect toπ, converges with respect toτ.Examples are given of solid (definition below) normed spaces of sequences which (a) fail to satisfy the filter condition, or (b) satisfy the filter condition, but not the closed neighborhood condition. (Robertson and others have given examples fulfilling (a), and examples fulfilling (b), but these examples were not solid, normed sequence spaces.) However, it is shown that among separated, separable solid pairs(E,τ), the filter and closed neighborhood conditions are equivalent, and equivalent to the usual coordinate sequences constituting an unconditional Schauder basis for(E,τ). Consequently, the usual coordinate sequences do constitute an unconditional Schauder basis in every complete, separable, separated, solid pair(E,τ).

Local governments operate 311 service request lines across the United States, and the publicly available data from these lines provide a continuously measured, geographically fine-grained, and non-self-reported measure of citizens’ interactions with government. It seems a promising measure of neighborhood political participation. However, these data are empirically and theoretically different from many common citizen-level participation measures. We compare geographically aggregated 311 call data with three other measures of political and civic participation: voter turnout, political donations, and census return rates. We show that rates of 311 calls are negatively related to lower cost activities (voter turnout and census return rates), but positively related to the high-cost activity of campaign donation. We caution against interpreting 311 data as a generic measure of political engagement or participation, at least in the absence of high-quality controls for neighborhood condition. However, we argue that these data are still potentially useful for researchers, because they are by definition a measure of the service demands that neighborhoods place on city governments.

This site is located on North Miami Beach, across from the North Shore Recreational Park (a wooded park along the beach). It is currently a barren strip of eight blocks serving as unused parking and storage for miscellaneous construction equipment. The adjacent context to the west is primarily two- and three-story apartment housing separated from the site by a one-lane service alley. The program given to this area is mixed-use focusing on multi-family housing. The most important issue to address is the connection between the existing residential area and the proposed housing project through contextual response. The intention of this project is to weave these two areas together and create a singular neighborhood condition by reactivating the existing alley system.
