Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Sociology (Arts and Sciences).
This project examines the perceived effects of a voluntary running program at a juvenile community correctional facility. It fills a gap in sociological and criminological literature, and explores ways in which social bond theory and social bond theory through the life course can deepen our understanding of the effects of such programs. This project employs within-method data triangulation from a qualitative paradigm, making use of fieldnotes, in-depth interviews, and journal entries. The findings suggest that the running program has the potential to increase the four social bonds (attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief) of participants to society and may, in turn, lead to future desistance from criminal activities.
