Although research recognizes gender differences in offending and interactions with the criminal justice system, few studies have explored the role of gender in the relationship between postrelease supervision and recidivism. Building on feminist criminological research, this study uses a feminist pathways theoretical framework to investigate the overall and gendered effects of postrelease supervision on multiple measures of recidivism. Using a large sample of offenders released from prisons in Florida ( N = 141,338) and propensity score matching techniques, this study uncovers that postrelease supervision is associated with a very small (4% to 4.5%) reduction in recidivism. Moreover, the effect sizes from the analyses also indicate that postrelease supervision plays a greater role in reducing recidivism among men, but the effects for women are much smaller. Based on this study’s findings, policymakers should consider the importance of gender in designing appropriate programming in prison and developing postrelease techniques in reducing recidivism.

3556 Background: The optimal treatment for mCRC beyond 2nd line is still questioned. Recently, REG and TAS-102 showed to improve survival compared to BSC. While in real-world practice CTr/r is often considered in this setting, supporting evidences are limited. In absence of studies comparing all these strategies, we aimed to compare the prognostic performance of CTr/r, REG and TAS-102 in mCRC treated beyond 2nd line. Methods: mCRC pts progressing after at least 2 lines of CT, treated with CTr/r, REG or TAS-102 between Jan-10 and Jan-19 were considered eligible. The primary endpoint was OS; secondary endpoints were PFS and RR. Cox’s proportional hazard models for survivals were estimated. A propensity score (PS) adjustment for baseline characteristics was further accomplished for survival analysis. Results: The clinical data of 341 pts (CTr/r 133, REG 150, TAS-102 58) were retrospectively collected. At multivariate analysis type of treatment, ECOG PS, number of metastatic sites and treatment line independently correlated with OS ( p < .001, p .001, p < .001 and p .029, respectively). The mOS was 18.5 (95% CI, 14.3–22.7), 6 (95% CI, 5.6–9.5) and 7.6 months (95%CI, 5.6–9.5), for CTr/r, REG and TAS-102 group, respectively (log-rank p < .0001). mOS was significantly longer for pts receiving CTr/r than for those treated with REG/TAS-102 (15.8 vs 7.1 months; adjusted HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.44-2.66; p < .0001) at the PS analysis, adjusted for ECOG PS, number of metastatic sites and treatment line; 2-yrs OS was 34% and 11.6% for CTr/r and REG/TAS-102, respectively. PFS was significantly longer for pts receiving CTr/r than for those treated with REG/TAS-102 (5.5 vs 3.9 months; HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.11-1.91; p .006) at the PS analysis. Accordingly, RR was higher in pts receiving CTr/r compared to REG/TAS-102 (29.0 vs 1.5%; Chi-square p < .00001). Conclusions: Our analysis, although underpowered, generates the hypothesis of a superiority of CTr/r in comparison to REG or TAS-102, in both efficacy and activity. Given the retrospective nature of our analysis, and the potential role of selection bias in treatment assignment, a prospective validation is mandatory.
