The Exodus Transitional Community is a non profit organization that provides support services to men and women who are in transition from incarceration to full integration into their communities. It helps these individuals build stable lives by promoting their social and economic well being so as to break the cycle of recidivism . History Exodus Transitional Community, Inc. originated behind prison walls. In the 1970s, a group of New York State prisoners that were serving lengthy sentences developed, along with Chaplain Rev. Ed Muller, what they called the Exodus Group . The Exodus Group offered opportunities for study and discussion based on a model of self discovery, acceptance of responsibility for past behavior, and dedication to change. The prisoners worked on their self development and prepared for their eventual release into society. With the assistance of Rev. Bill Webber, then president of the New York Theological Seminary, the Exodus Group s spirit of empowerment led to the development of an accredited Masters Degree program in Sing Sing Correctional Facility. After many meetings, speaking engagements, and requests for assistance, Exodus Transitional Community, Inc. received its first substantial contribution and officially opened its doors in March 1999.

Unreferenced date May 2010 Risk factor research has proliferated within the discipline of Criminology in recent years, based largely on the early work of Sheldon Glueck Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck in the USA and David Farrington in the UK. The identification of risk factor s that are allegedly predictive of offending and Recidivism reoffending especially by young people has heavily influenced the criminal justice policies and practices of a number of first world countries, notably the United Kingdom UK , the United States USA and Australia . However, the robustness and validity of much artefactual risk factor research see Kemshall 2003 has recently come under sustained criticism for Reductionism e.g. over simplifying complex experiences and circumstances by converting them to simple quantities, limiting investigation of risk factors to psychological and immediate social domains of life, whilst neglecting socio structural influences Determinism e.g. characterising young people as passive victims of risk experiences with no ability to construct, negotiate or resist risk Imputation e.g. assuming that risk factors and definitions of offending are homogenous across countries and cultures, assuming that statistical correlation s between risk factors and offending actually represent causal relationships, assuming that risk factors apply to individuals on the basis of aggregated data. Two UK academics, Stephen Case and Kevin Haines, have been particularly forceful in their critique of risk factor research within a number of academic papers and a comprehensive polemic text entitled Understanding Youth Offending Risk Factor Research, Policy and Practice .
