Abstract
Diverse research demonstrates that unmanageable stressors are relentless on the body and brain, especially among individuals reentering society post-incarceration. Research has begun to examine how non-criminological factors are implicated in pathways leading to crime and deviance. However, the existing body of knowledge lacks specificity regarding the biopsychosocial constructs related to offending and drug use during reentry. The study evaluates the confounding nature of perceived stress on offending and drug use during the months after prison release, in light of extant literature's established effects of mental health on crime.
