| Abstract | This article explores the main determinants of the hazard of recidivism among ex-prisoners. We use a nationally-representative sample of prisoners released in 1996-1997 in France, drawn from a 5-year follow-up survey run by the the French correctional administration. We estimate semi-parametric duration models which deal with violations of the proportional hazards hypothesis. Our results confirm the importance of sex, age, nationality, access to employment and prior convictions on recidivism within five years after release from prison. They also show significant differences in recidivism by type of initial offense, by penal status at entry, and by type of release (early release under parole, etc.), while prison fixed-effects are identified. Finally, our study casts doubt on the influence of certain variables (marital status at entry, education, homelessness) and on the effectiveness of semi-liberte as a way to prevent recidivism.
