Recidivism Data

Description

This data comprises 432 male inmates released from Maryland state prisons in the early 1970's. Dates of arrest, which constitutes an event, were recorded for each inmate up to 1 year following release. A major goal of the analysis was to determine if those who received financial aid had lower arrest rates than those who did not. Moreover, the effect of having financial aid is likely to be more important immediately following arrest and less important as time passes.
