Community Need Chart: National Unemployment Even though the unemployment rate is declining, it is still higher than before the recession.

Community Need Data

Community Need Chart: Local Unemployment Syracuse has the greatest community need.

Community Need Data

Community Need Chart: Prison Populations Texas has the most prisoners. New York has the 5 th highest amount of prisoners, so it is a good candidate for this program

Community Need Data Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics, National Prisoner Statistics Program

Logical Approach Worksheet

Logical Approach Lit Review The Department of Labor stated : – The unemployment rate among ex-offenders is between 25 and 40%. – Without assistance in transitioning back into the community, the majority of offenders return to criminal activity. – Joblessness among ex-prisoners has been broadly linked to recidivism rates. In “Ex-offenders and the Labor Market”, the author states – A prison record greatly lowers ex-offenders prospects in the labor market. In “ The High Budgetary Cost of Incarceration”, the author states – The U.S incarceration rate – 753 per 100,000 – is higher than any other country, and hurts the U.S econmically.

Evaluation Technique Evaluation Plan X 0 0 Binary Variable- Yes or No Introduce program and then compare people in program with people not in program.

Data Analysis My program was successful, because participants in the program had a lower rate of unemployment compared to those who were not in the program. My data was not statistically significant at the.05 level.
