I find substantive differences between dropouts and discharges, suggesting that more nuanced retention strategies are needed for unique groups.

Is prison program non-completion a homogenous phenomenon? In my latest article, I explore correlates of voluntary dropout and administrative discharge from prison programs. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@kerbygoff @McNRachel @Chris_H_Seto Unfortunately, a meta-analysis is likely not the best tool to tell us about these more nuanced issues, as they create a monolithic number to explain phenomena. Combining studies that show large and small sentencing differences likely washes away true findings of disparity!

@kerbygoff @McNRachel @Chris_H_Seto Jurisdictional differences, judicial and prosecutor experience, type of offenses explored, and just downright differences in prejudicial enforcement of the law by race/ethnicity.
