estimate is also practically identical: .691 compared to .686. Thus, our two alternative<br />
c<strong>on</strong>trols for time at risk do not appear to impact our estimates <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the risk <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> committing a<br />
violent <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fense over time.<br />
Table 2.11 shows the results <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the IV regressi<strong>on</strong> for violent <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending.<br />
C<strong>on</strong>sistent with earlier findings, the reduced form (ITT) model shows a slight, n<strong>on</strong>significant<br />
reducti<strong>on</strong> in the probability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> violent recidivism for <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fenders assigned to LIS<br />
(b = -.073, p ≤ .239). Gender, income, and m<strong>on</strong>ths in jail are also significantly associated<br />
with the outcome. However, as in the model for all <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fense types, the small effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
treatment disappears completely for those who actually received it (b = - .007, p ≤ .586).<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> subgroup effects for violent <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending (Table 2.12) are similar to those for all<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fenses. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> overall probability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending is small across all the subgroups. Regi<strong>on</strong>,<br />
gender, age, and SES are all significantly associated with outcomes for LIS compliers,<br />
and race is not. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> prior <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending rate (which is dichotomized into no <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending vs.<br />
any <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending for violent and drug <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending due to very low <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending rates) does not<br />
quite reach statistical significance, but the results are in the opposite directi<strong>on</strong> from those<br />
observed in the all <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fenses model. Those with no prior violent <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fenses were less likely<br />
to re<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fend compared to those with <strong>on</strong>e or more charge (3.7% vs. 6.1%, p ≤ .073).<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> outcomes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the logistic regressi<strong>on</strong> model for prevalence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> drug <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending<br />
are presented in Table 2.13. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> results are very similar to the preceding analyses.<br />
Treatment group assignment has almost no effect <strong>on</strong> re<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending (OR = .92, p ≤ .644).<br />
West regi<strong>on</strong>, age, and increasing SES are again associated with decreased odds <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
re<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fending, and males had twice the odds <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> females <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> committing a new drug <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fense.<br />
On this occasi<strong>on</strong>, we also found that an additi<strong>on</strong>al squared jail time term was significant<br />
