Redefining Boundaries: A Grounded Theory Study of Recidivism in Women
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Incarceration rates for women in the United States are at least three times greater than those of any other nation (National Council on Crime and Delinquency, 2006 Sandelowski, M. and Barroso, J. 2002. Finding the findings in qualitative studies. Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 34: 213–219. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Recidivism, reoffense following prior conviction for a crime, compounds this problem, with nearly seven out of 10 convicted persons in the United States rearrested within 3 years of release (Hughes & Wilson, 2003 Hutchinson, S. A. and Wilson, H. 2001. “Understanding clients’ health care decisions: A grounded-theory approach”. In Qualitative methods for nursing research , 2nd ed., Edited by: Munhall, P. 245–276. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett Publishers. [Google Scholar]). Our purpose in this article is to present a grounded theory of recidivism from the perspective of incarcerated women and to discuss the public health and other societal implications. While the participants in this research were U.S. women, we hope to provide a new perspective on the decision making of some women that results in recidivism, in order to initiate dialogue that could lead to more effective interventions worldwide.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
