Lack of housing and residential mobility as challenges in postrelease social integration of prisoners: A systematic review

Lack of housing among ex-prisoners is a major problem from the point of view of social integration, and possibly also relevant for desistance from crime. The place where ex-prisoners settle after release can also affect integration. Over the recent decades, the Finnish government has initiated several action plans to address these problems, yet an easily accessible policy-supporting overview of research has been lacking. In this article, the authors conduct a systematic review of research on these issues. They conducted searches in the available research published in the Nordic languages and in English. Based on the research corpus (N=91), program effects evaluations give an ambivalent picture on intervention efficacy, as evaluated projects have often incorporated also other elements than housing provision. In contrast, observational research supports the notion that lack of housing increases the risk of recidivism. Regarding both types of research, there is a shortage of work from outside the United States. The authors conclude by discussing the findings in terms of research and public policy, from a Finnish perspective. They recommend that in the future, the planning of housing-related support measures should always be preceded by a systematic review of prior research, and the incorporation of evaluation research design to the implementation of interventions.
