| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 犯罪防治研究所 === 107 === Agency of Corrections and criminal justice system in Taiwan are faced with a momentous issue – recidivism. According to statistics from Ministry of Justice, there are seventy-nine percent new prisoners have criminal record in 2017, the rate of ex-convict set a new recorded high in recent 5 years. In this study opinion, criminals being sent to jail will bring life-barrier experience and stigma to inmates, which is a disadvantageous factor to reintegration. Past literatures showed that reintegrate successfully or not will be influenced by inmates’ percepts of rehabilitation. Consequently, this study takes “self-stigma” which inherited from labeling theory and “social exclusion” as mediator, trying to find out whether inmates’ life-barrier experience has negative effect to prediction of their reintegration. The study adopts quantitative analysis method to explore correlation between life-barrier experience, feel of self-labeling, anticipated social exclusion and prediction of reintegration. Hope it would offer another view to recidivism, and provide different way for treatment.
The participants in this study were inmates from the central and southern Prison and Detention Center of Taiwan. 556 pieces of questionnaires had been distributed, and 453 valid pieces were returned, the effective response rate was 81.4%. The result shows that the score of inmates’ prediction of reintegration was significantly affected by gender, age, age of first time be sent to prison, self-appraisals of moral, self-appraisals of criminalization, alienation of intimate relationship, social exclusion. Two factors from feel of self-labeling also have significant influence on the factors about predict futures which resulted from anticipated social exclusion and prediction of reintegration.
Lastly, this study verifies research framework by SEM. According to results of SEM, shows that study hypothesis is valid: life-barrier experience will bring the feel of self-labeling and anticipated social exclusion to inmates, feel of self-labeling also reinforce anticipated social exclusion, all three variables have negative impacts on inmates’ percepts of rehabilitation simultaneously, and it might influence consequence of rehabilitation.
