incentivized for serving youth locally rather than sending them to a state institution. In a targetedeffort, the six largest counties in the state partnered with local universities to ensure propertraining, coaching, and implementation of evidence based programs. The purpose of this paper isto report on the six counties’ level of success with their implementation of community levelevidence based programs.Assessing the Impact of Collateral Consequences of Criminal Conviction onOffendersJames Frank, University of Cincinnati (james.frank@uc.edu)Angela K. Reitler, University of Cincinnati (reitleak@mail.uc.edu)Natalie Goulette, University of Cincinnati (nataliegoulette@yahoo.com)Convicted offenders often suffer a number of "collateral consequences" in addition to thesentence imposed for the crime. Collateral consequences are sanctions or restrictions imposed bystatutes, regulations, and rules that have the potential to affect offenders – personally, politically,and economically – for the rest of their lives. Both policy makers and academics are concernedabout the impact of collateral consequences of criminal convictions on offenders. Their claimstypically contain two assumptions. First, they assert that collateral consequences pose substantialbarriers to successful offender re-entry. Second, they implicitly assume that all collateralconsequences have the same detrimental effect on all offenders. While these two claims areconsistently offered in policy proposals to reduce collateral consequences, no empirical work todate has attempted to quantify the overall impact of these consequences on the lives of offenders.Nor has extant research explored the possibly differential impact of collateral sanctions on theoffenders. The present study examines the perceived impact of collateral consequences onconvicted offenders in Ohio. Using data collected through surveys of Ohio judges, prosecutingattorneys, defense attorneys, and probation and parole officers, we first examine respondents’perceptions of the proportion of offenders affected by a range of specified consequences.Second, we assess their perceptions about the magnitude of the impact such consequences haveon offenders. Third, we examine whether legal and social factors influence respondentperceptions. Finally, the study discusses policy responses to the problems posed by collateralconsequences of conviction.Genetic Markers and Behavioral Risk Measures as Predictors of Trajectories ofAdolescent Antisocial Behavior: Relative Utility and Potential for IntegrationChristopher Sullivan, University of Cincinnati (sullivc6@ucmail.uc.edu)Shaun Gann, University of Cincinnati (shaun.gann@ucmail.uc.edu)281
